Nonzuzo Gxekwa (b. 1981) is a self-taught photographer from Ladysmith, KwaZulu Natal, now living and working in Johannesburg. Her work is a celebration and exploration of the city of Joburg and its people, describing her adopted home as a place of resilience, beauty and extremes. Her approach to photography favours the everyday over the spectacular; focusing the camera on what is around her as well as herself. Guided by intuition and unerring prescience, she seems to notice moments of surprising beauty in mundane, everyday scenes before they have occurred.
