Jonothan Mhondurohuma was born on Christmas day in 1974 in Mrurwi.
In 1989, Jonothan's good friend Square Chikwanda asked him if he would come
to work with him. He studied there for six months under Chikwanda. He found that
the rural life was not for him, so he decided to move back to Harare. It was there that
he studied with the late Joseph Ndandarika at the Kentucky Hotel.
Ndandarika had a great influence on the work of Mhondurohuma, as can be seen in
the fluidity of his lines and his meticulous composition. His works contain aspects
of traditional Zimbabwean sculptures which he uses and adds his very own
distinctive style. His work includes aspects of classical Zimbabwean sculpture as
well as innovative subjects. He is one of the major talents of the young Shona sculptors.
"See No Evil" is sculpted from Springstone and measures 32"H x 11"W.
