After Jonathan Mhondorohuma spent six months at Tengenenge, learning the basics of stone sculpture from Square Chikwanda before moving to Harare. He had the good fortune to work with the master sculptor Joseph Ndandarika, whose influence can be seen in Mhondorohuma’s command of composition, fluidity of line, and composure of expression. After Ndandarika’s death in 1991, Mhondorohuma was chosen for the Chapungu Resident Artist Program. He has been closely associated with the park ever since. His subject matter is extensive, but almost always involves human activity ranging from expressions of cultural custom and legend to village activity and sleeping children.
