(Bio) '(Nkosana) Dominic Tshabangu was born on the 19th November 1965 in Dube Village in Soweto. He studied at Daliwonga High School in Dube and then part time at The Open School (1983-1984) in Johannesburg, under the guidance of Mr. Philip Maulumise and Vincent Baloyi. Between 1985 and 1989, Tshabangu studied art part time with The African Institute of Art, Funda Centre, Soweto. It was here that he fell into the very capable hands of Sokhaya Charles Nkosi (an accomplished artist in his own right, who has done much to inspire the young artists of South Africa, often at the expense of his own art). It was Nkosi who saw his latent talent for collage - the medium in which Tshabangu now renders most of his artworks. In 1992 Tshabangu received his certificate for Fine Art from FUNDA. In 1993, a certificate from The Visual Arts Teachers´ Training College.' [From http://everard-read-capetown.co.za/backend/print.asp?idkey=671, accessed 27/08/2014].
