Grandfather
Born in 1975 in Kwa Zulu Natal. Inspired by his grandfather, who created pots and sculptures. During the days of Apartheid, people weren’t allowed to do art, because the government saw it as an act of protest against them and was scared of the effect it could have on other people. In the early 70s Ndabuko’s grandfather tried to teach all of his children art, but it only came to Ndabuko.
