Retsidisitswe Ngqekeza was born in the small rural town of Mohale’s Hoek in Lesotho. His passion and love for the visual arts was inspired by his father who was a clay maker and he began to play using clay, draw and paint. Little did he know that he was doing art, it was only in the Free State province where he discovered that he was an artist when he was carrying his file of Art and had an encounter with Artists who had a group exhibition in the Freedom Square, where he met Mr Kganyago, an artist whom he showed his art file to. He then invited him to join artists after
telling him that he was a skilful artist. In 2021, he moved to Johannesburg to assist August House artist, Mr Teboho Makoatsa who mentored him and learned more from him until he became ready to have his own studio.
