Mogalakwena Lodge – Elbé Coetsee

Limpopo Province is a place of many talented people who create wood carving, ceramics, embroidery and weaving. A few years ago I did some research for the Mint Museum in North Carolina USA who were looking to expand their collection of African Art Craft. It was then that I visited Mogalakwena Lodge and Artist’s Retreat. During lockdown I took down the 2 books by Dr Elbe Coetzee whose family own the property. I chatted to her this week about the work she and the Sepedi speaking women of the region are doing.
