The pain of witnessing the mother he loved, suffer at the hands of a man meant to love and protect both of them, the agony did not turn to rage, but instead transferred into the formation of beautiful design and art.Maluleke explains, “Inspired by life, inspired by nature and by the environment in Limpopo Giyani, I buy the mat, Tshithebe, and give back to abo magogo. I put back my signature and sell it overseas. I want the mat to bring back financial freedom.

He elaborates, “Women are here to be embraced, women are fragile, and women are the queens. My art pieces are depicted on the mat, thsitebe. I’m sending a message to embrace our women, to embrace the girl child, a mother who feels that the world is not suitable for them, who feel corners. Guys let’s stop GBV so that the world can be conducive as well.”
