My name is Michael Kakweza.  I was born in 1978 at Nyadire Hospital in Mutoko.

I did my primary education at Masarakuta Primary and Secondary School in Mudzi.

I was born an artist.  My father is a big artist too, his name is Everisto Kakweza, he started sculpting in 1976.  He was the top 10 artists working at Chapungu Gallery in Harare.

I am married with five children, 3 girls and 2 boys.

I sculpt leopards in a stone called Leopard Rock, a very hard stone which I like caving.

I like to hunt and travel.

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.
