Itayi was born in 1975 in Rusape District of Zimbabwe. He is the first born in a family of eight. At the age of 11 years, he moved to the city Chitungwiza where he did his secondary education up to O level in 1993.

In 1994 his uncle Richard Mupumha encouraged Itayi to start stone sculpting under his guidance. After  a two year apprenticeship , Itayi  was confident enough  to strike out on his own name.  At  present , he is a full-time sculptor  with  a wife  and young child  working  at the Chitungwiza Arts Centre  with  his brother Onias.

Feb –April  2014  he was  one of four Zimbabwean artists along with Tonderai  Sowa , invited to participate in an Artist  Exchange at Sonkala Yonkala in Luanda , Angola with Angolan artist Jao Mayembe .

Itayi’s work was featured in a joint exhibition at Msande Gallery in Berlin Germany in 2001.

What I love about ZimSculpt is how perfectly suited these large, modern-yet-spiritual sculptures are to VanDusen’s traditional garden landscapes. It’s almost as if these sculptures were meant to be seen in a garden, they seem so at home here. I love how natural they look, rising out of a cluster of flowers or standing proudly at the edge of a lake.
