Benhura was born in 1968. His father died before his birth, and he was raised by his mother. As he was an excellent student, he was sent to the capital for further studies. He lived with his cousin Tapfuma Gutsa, already a well-known sculptor. Benhura turned to sculpting full-time upon the completion of his schooling. He also began traveling, attending one-man exhibitions in Botswana, USA, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia and Germany. Benhura has an exceptional ability to portray human feeling through form rather than facial expression, and is considered to be the leader of the second generation of Zimbabwean stone carvers.
