Let’s hear from Maphuza:
Ndikhuliswe nguMakhulu wam noTatomkhulu wam abazali basweleka ndisemnicinci kakhulu besikhuliswa ngemali yapeyi.
I was raised by my grandparents with social grant money. My parents passed away when I was young.
NguMama uMamotonosi Sekgamane ongasekhoyo.
I was introduced to beading by the late Mamotunusi Sekgamane.
Eyonanto indikuthaza kukubona ulutsha nalo lufunda ukwenza lomebenzi nam ndiyigqithisele.
I get inspired when I see the younger generation expressing interest in beading and I pass this skill on to children and grandchildren to go forward with it.
Ndithanda limibala yizintsimi indlela umihle ngayo xa uyidibanisile yenza umfaneleko kubonakale isintu noku kubengezela kwayo intsimbi le.
What I love about beads is the beautiful colours, the way I can combine them when I am working on a design and the brightness of the design because of the beads.
Ndifuna bayazi ukuba ndiyawuthanda umsebenzi wam wentsimbi futhi uyandinikesa isoka ndikwazi ukuphila
