I am certain that our readers are wondering about the writer of our beautifully evocative posts, A Journey of Inspiration and Engaging the Spirit, so here is a brief introduction to Witty Nonhlanhla Nyide. Witty grew up and was educated in the beautiful rural KZN area of Bulwer, and was never without pencil and paper for both drawing and writing. Having studied commerce at senior school, Witty felt sure she was destined for other things. She followed her dream and approached Anthea Martin, director of the African Arts Centre. Recognising her creative potential, Anthea invited Witty to join Velobala Visual Arts Course, which was conducted on Saturdays. Here Witty found her niche, encouraged and inspired by the staff. It was during this time that Witty assembled a portfolio which was the basis for her acceptance by the Fine Arts Department at DUT. DUT staff were responsible for Witty’s introduction to Caversham when she was sent on a leadership residency in August of 2006.Witty completed her studies in 2007, and is now doing a three-month internship at Caversham, where she is also a fully involved participant in the current residency. She plans to utilize the remainder of her internship to explore potential career paths as well as her vision of providing a CreActive Centre in her home area to inspire and empower other young people. Before she goes off to do that, we hope to enjoy a lot more of her writing!
