Pfungwa Dziike I was born on 10 April in 1972 as a Zimbabwean in Mutare. I was born in a family of two and I am the first child. I attended my primary education there in Mutare from 1981 up to 1987. My parents passed away while I was still at school then. I continued my secondary education under my grandmother’s guidance, where I lived and looked after me.
We earned our living through means of selling clay pots that my grandmother made herself. I was finally fascinated in creative and craftwork very much that I began to make my own pots, cups, dolls, mats and many things and, as an advantage I helped myself paying school fees and also my grandmother. I was also interested in our shona tradition and culture and then up to how I fancy to restore my identity and my roots. However, after I completed my education I came to capital city, Harare, where I stayed with my aunt because of her friendliness with many people. I mixed and met many fellows, fortunately, and a man called Anthony Sabuneti who furthermore introduced me to a man namely Silvera who dealt with shona arts. I was enrolled for five years and Amos Supuni was my teacher. He taught me how to create a figure out of mass of stones. He also taught me many techniques like sculpturing. Furthermore I was to work with Kenneth Laisi, Royal Katiyo and Collen Sixpence. Finally, I was exhibited at the first Mobil Zimbabwe in 1998. As an artist, I am very proud and happy with my work. I am a well known artist in Tafara, Harare and I am very proud of that up to now, I earn my living through this work only and my work is also exhibited overseas. Artist's Sculpture (Click to view):
