Meet the Artist: Victor Chiteura – African Home
Victor Chiteura is proud to be called Zvakanaka, a term of endearment bestowed upon him by his crafter team. Zvakanaka means ‘maker of nice stuff’, a modest compliment for someone whose reliability and attention to detail and quality places him ahead of his competition in the wire craft sector. In 2007, Victor came to African Home and his collaboration has opened up a world of opportunity for him. Since joining African Home in 2007, Victor has had a relatively constant flow of work and has even bought a car, with their assistance, further helping him fulfill the orders that come his way.
