#FeelGoodTuesday: Meet Qiniso, the Ntuzuma artist using cardboard to create magic
When J Sbu came across a post shared on his timeline about a young man recycling cardboard to create 3D cars and houses, he knew he wanted to have him on the show for the #FeelGood feature.
His name is Qiniso Gwamanda, he is from the township of Ntuzuma, and he is an artist!

An unconventional one, yes, but a talented one no less.
Qiniso creates incredible art pieces using the cardboard boxes he finds on the street in his neighbourhood. His passion began as a hobby growing up in the streets of Ntuzuma whilst he and his friend played outside.
Qiniso says that whilst others think that cardboard is useless material that they are quick to discard, he thinks otherwise. He collects as much cardboard as he can for his products.
See some of Qiniso's creations below:
