Tendai Makufa was born in 1979 in Zimbabwe, a small village near Masvingo.
When he was a child he loved to draw pictures on the earth, on paper with pencils and charcoal and with ballpoint pens.
He trained at B,A,T Fine Art under National Gallery of Zimbabwe for 4 years. Three years ago, Tendai was exhibited in a Michigan gallery. The paintings were of great interest to visitors who rediscovered certain features of scenes from the old South.
