'I think my sculptures are my contribution to this world and they mean a lot to me. I spend my time making unique sculptures, so each of the sculptures is part of my life.'

Godfrey was born in 1975 in Wedza, Zimbabwe. His grandmother, who was the mother of legendary sculptor
Nicholas Mukomberanwa, raised him because his own mother had passed away. During the holidays, he used to visit his uncles Nicholas Mukomberanwa and Albert Nathan Mamvura and his cousin Nesbert Mukomberanwa.

Godfrey began visiting the workshop-studio of his uncle Albert Mamvura regularly. There he met many big artists, including Sylvester Mubayi, who encouraged Godfrey, even though he was young, for he could see Godfrey’s eye for art. Godfrey also went to Nicholas Mukomberanwa’s workshop in Ruwa, where he spent the holidays being taught how to handle the tools, and how to create unique pieces of sculpture.

Godfrey became serious about art so in 1998 he joined Nicholas Mukomberanwa full-time. After Nicholas’ death in 2002, he moved to Nesbert Mukomberanwa’s studio and worked with him until 2006. In 2007, Godfrey left to start working on his own. Godfrey is now a full-time artist at Chitungwiza Arts Centre.
