The plaque reads:

Our love is so strong! We hope the "munyai" (mediators) will quickly conclude the marriage arrangements, so we can finally be together.

"Euwitt Nyanhongo was born in 1973 in the Nyanga district of Zimbabwe. Euwitt is one of the sons of Veteran Zimbabwean sculptor, Claud Nyanhongo. He has a brother called Gedion and a sister called Agnes, both of whom are also very prominent sculptors.

Born into an artistic family, Euwitt began sculpting at an early age. During school holidays he often assisted his father in finishing off pieces. At school he excelled in art. Under the guidance of Claud, Gedion and Agnes, Euwitt began sculpting full time in 1993. He is the family’s youngest upcoming artist.

Euwitt prefers to work from the hard Springstone and Nyanga Serpentine found in the area where he was raised. He believes that his inspiration is derived from the Nyanga mountains and it is these ‘’spiritual rocks’’ that provide him with vision – so he often spends time working in the mountains.

His work portrays his human affinity with nature, animals, spirits and mythological beliefs of the Shona Tribe. In the last two years, Euwitt has created some larger pieces of sculpture in addition to his small to medium sculptures. He has gained much recognition and has been invited to join an annual residency sculptor programme for young upcoming sculptors." (from (visit link) )
