Mthobisi Maphumulo was born in 1988 at Imfume on the KZN South Coast. His
work is a critique of the social construction of communities. He is interested
in examining the inhumane and mechanical processes that result in class
stratification and the perpetual widening of inequality. His work also
challenges the notion of industrialization as a signifier for development and a
better life.
In Maphumulo’s community, this has become a symbol of family
displacement, land dispossession and exploitation impacting drudgery and the
environment. Issues of identity and dignity are imperative in his work,
particularly when looking at industrial labourers’ identity in relation to
inhuman industrial safety gear that they wear daily to serve the economy.
