Zuze has a passion for metal

metal, which he salvages from dumpsites around the city.
The Herald Entertainment caught up with Zuze who had just finished his latest work titled “United We Stand”.
The piece shows two people standing side by side and holding each other’s hands as a sign of unity. The chairs and the table portray a conference with some eats placed on a table along with a book and a pen resembling an agreement, all made of metal.
The  artist derives inspiration from the society and he loves to express his feelings through art.
“I visualise how I wish to see the society and I put it all in the form of metal art. I love peace. I dedicate this piece of work to all peace-loving Zimbabweans and I would be very much grateful if my work is presented  to President Mugabe for his unifying spirit among Zimbabweans,” he said.
Zuze’s passion for metal art dates back to his school days but due to financial constraints he ventured late in the industry.
“I always wanted to do art but could not make  breakthrough until I retired from the army in 2005 when I used part of my retirement package to become a full-time sculptor,” said the sculptor, who was a member of Zimabwe’s peacekeeping force in the DRC.
His ambition is to become one of Zimbabwe’s top metal sculptors.
