He said converting theory into practical wasn't easy but with passion for art, he kept trying for roughly a year. He then realised he was getting good better best after receiving first customer.
"lt took me ages to discover the hot colors", he said, pointing out he learnt a lot from dealing with different customers and also checking on how Dr Mahlangu mix her colors.
When duty calls he collects empty bottles by himself at damp sites, some bring them to him after party and sometimes he buys them from recyclers.
He concluded that his business is growing and doing good. "At the moment, l promote my business on Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes I choose to display my products at flea markets", he said.
