PASSIONATE about working with wood and being self-motivated are the forces behind Charles Moyo’s furniture and works of art, which he sells to make a living.
Charles (44), from Rosettenville, uses his God-given talent to provide for his family and to make ends meet. Every morning he goes out to find pieces of wood and upon his return, he starts working with what he found.
He makes tables, chairs, and statues of animals and people.
“I started this business in 2010 and I am a professional artist. Since my childhood days, I have always desired to run my own business in arts. For me, it is not about the quantity but the quality of my products – it must be the best,” he said.
“Two years ago I established a wood art training course in Rosettenville but my trainees were after money so the classes collapsed,’’ Moyo told COURIER.
Moyo’s biggest wish is to one day open his own studio and gallery where people can come and observe his work.
