Capricorn Review

VISUAL artist Mudinda Maumela (31) from Miluwani village near Sibasa is proof that raw talent, dedication and mentorship can transform a dream into a livelihood.

- SILAS NDUVHENI

Specialising in painting, printmaking, watercolour, woodwork and ceramics, Maumela has created employment for himself through his art and is now inspiring others to do the same.

Born in Hamashamba Doli outside Louis Trichardt, Maumela was exposed to the world of visual art through the Mashamba Pottery Project, where he began teaching himself by observing others.

His journey took a life-changing turn when he moved to Miluwani and met veteran sculptor Avhashoni Mainganye, who recognised his talent and took him under his wing.
