#FeelGoodTuesday: Meet Qiniso the Ntuzuma artist using cardboard to create magic

Loading player...
When J Sbu came across a post shared on his timeline about a young man recycling cardboard to create 3D cars and houses he knew he wanted to have him on the show for the #FeelGood feature. His name is Qiniso Gwamanda, he is from the township of Ntuzuma and he is an artist!

An unconventional one, yes but a talented one no less.

Qiniso, creates incredible art pieces by the cardboard boxes he finds on the street in his neighborhood. His passion began as a hobby growing up in the streets of Ntuzuma whilst he and his friend played outside.

Qiniso says that whilst others think that cardboard is useless material that they are quick to discard- Qiniso thinks otherwise. He collects as much cardboard as he can for his products.
