Godfrey Sipho Ndaba was born in 1947 in Soweto, Johannesburg where he has lived all his life. his fascination with art started when young, as every time it rained he drew faces in the wet soil. painting became an obsession and he made portraits of his family and friends.
He attended Primary School in Soweto, but went to the Jubilee Art Centre twice a week after School Hours, studying with Artists such as Cecil Skotness & Sidney Khumalo. He studied at Ndaleni Art School in Kwazulu-Natal.
Although his success flourished, he remained keen to show his work in his township. he began presenting garden art exhibitions, which proved refreshing for those not used to the world of art.
Godfrey Ndaba's work has been shown in Germany, Israel, Greece, United States & South Africa. Today his work features in many collections, including The Private Collection of Mr Thabo Mbeki, The Past President of South Africa.
