About "Nonzwakazi"

Nzwaki as she is fondly known is a friendly beautiful girl who had big dreams as a young girl. She grew up in a very poor family but always had a dream to make it big in life. When she grew old she came to a big city and make it big. She became a beautiful model. Her life story inspires me to never lose hope.

About Nombeko

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Nombeko was born and bred in the former Transkei, Eastern Cape in a small village called Tsomo. She grew up on a farm in the Kei River valley. As a child she never had a chance of owning a book or a pencil. In school she wrote on a slate or on a flat stone if the slate was broken. She used to scribble on stones, gaalboom and aloe plants. Nombeko's art passion started at a very young age when she and her cousins used to draw each other on stones and gaalboom. In her primary and high school she didn't do art as a subject. She did art as a subject when she enrolled for her diploma in Education at the college. Her love for art led her to be a Foundation Phase Art teacher.
