Born in Chegutu in 1968 in a family of 8, Edson was educated in a rural area of Zimbabwe. He wanted to be a teacher but the expense was too great, so he began carving stone with his grandfather. They specialized in hippos and eventually moved to Harare to sell their carvings to tourists. In 1994 he joined Tazora Arts and Crafts and in 1996 began supplying Mbare, Ltd. with his sculptures. He has a wife and two children and hopes to earn enough to build his own home.
