Farai Mangenda was born in Nyanga.  He went to school and left at grade six level because his parents had passed away, so no one could pay for his school fees.

He then started to learn how to sculpt in 1994.  He works on heads and figures.  He is a father of 8 children.  He enjoys working on hard stones such as Verdite, Springstone and Fruit Serpentines.  He is currently working at The Chitungwiza Arts Centre.

A real treat here in Wimbledon. At Cannizaro Park a superb open-air exhibition of Zimbabwean sculpture. There were many pieces, large and small, and a wide variety of different stone used in imaginative ways. And, overall, a real sense of Africa, linked to a long artistic tradition.

I was told that many of the sculptors had been trained within their own families: a father, an uncle, a grandfather, passing on the old skills.
