Shingie Madzonggwe

I was born on the 10th of June 1975 in the Mhondoro district of Zimbabwe.  We are a family of ten.  Seven boys and three girls, of which I am the sixth.  I am married and have three children, all boys. I did my primary education at Madzongwe primary school in Mhondoro.  I went to my secondary at Seke 5 high school in Chitungwiza.

As a young boy, I would carve wooden sculptures, which were great pastimes.  So this led to my creativity which I am using today. At the same time, at school, I visited my cousins Newman Chikuni and Albert Mamvura, who were sculptors who inspired me, and they influenced me.  So I started to work with them while sandpapering and polishing sculptures and doing the finishing works.

In 1995, I went back to Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe, to join Newman Chikuni to start learning stone sculpting.  Then in 1997, I joined Chitungwiza Arts Centre.  From 1999 I was elected to a sales person until today.  I have had exhibitions worldwide and have sold my sculptures globally.  Today,  I am carving; however, I am involved with sales, marketing, and promoting other talented artists.
