Elizabeth Mbatha, Rorke's Drift

South Africa 1950 - 

Elizabeth Mbatha was born in 1950 near Rorke's Drift.

She did not attend school and in 1974 she married Eric Mbatha, a potter at Rorke's Drift. In the early 1980s she went to Rorke's Drift to look for work in the female-dominated weaving workshop. There was no vacancy there, so she joined the pottery workshop and was taught traditional coil pottery by women potters such as Dinah Molefe.

Her work has been widely exhibited.
