Reuben Ndwandwe

South African 1943-2007 

Reuben Ndwandwe (1943-2007) is a renowned South African artist, particularly famous for his intricate and unique basket weaving. Ndwandwe was a founding member and the only male participant in the original Vukani Association initiated by the Swedish missionary couple, Kjell and Bertha Löfroth, who established the Vukani Association in an effort to assist women to generate income in the wake of a severe drought that had crippled the region in 1966 and 1967.

While Ndwandwe draws on ancestral techniques and motifs from his Zulu heritage, his designs are often innovative and contemporary, with extraordinary detail and craftsmanship. Ndwandwe’s baskets have been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions worldwide showcasing the fine artistry of basket weaving.
