RAS I Free arrived from Motherwell early this year to set up a stall near Drostdy Arch, where he
displays his work daily.
While displaying some his work at Wezandla Art Gallery in Port Elizabeth, he was chosen to complete a course in leatherwork along with a few other students from Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.
The training was conducted by the Bircham International University in England and was presented by the South African Leather Academy.
Combining beads, buttons, and other material, Manyekiso designs bags, purses, pouches and bangles. The most prominent are the eye-catching leather shoes that provide comfort and protection but also the authentic style of a local designer.
Customers will not find these in any shopping outlet. Mnyikiso wishes to work with any people interested in leatherwork, handcraft in general or even beginners. Local organisations and institutions are also alerted of this rare talent and business opportunity.
You can find Mnyikiso at the arch or you can call him on 073 422 1205.
