Makgoka started his creativity at the age of 7, when he saw his older brother draw, but first it was merely drawings that contained copied images from his brother’s drawings. He soon learned the basic techniques of drawing and developed ever since on his own because art was not part of the education programme at his school. After matriculating, Makgoka enrolled for Fine and Applied Arts at Tshwane University of Technology in 2008, he is currently busy with his B-Tech in Fine Arts at the same institution.
