Savheri was born in 1970 in Mhondoro and is the second born in a family of five.

Savheri grew up in Mhondoro where he completed his primary education.

He started sculpting in 1993 when he was influenced and taught by his uncle and sculptor Ronny Dongwa. Savheri worked for two years with his uncle until he started working full time as an artist.

He was so inspired by his uncle that he wanted to follow his footsteps and to gain further experience he worked for two years with the much acclaimed artist Lameck Bonjisi.

The only way he found to let the people of his origin know the importance of their culture was to send his message through the sculptures he produced. Savheri enjoys sculpting the human form.

He has had his pieces exhibited around the world in the U.S., Belgium, Germany and the UK.

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.
