Zimbabwean-born Lebani Sirenje popularly known as, Rasta the artist, impressed social media users after his recent painting.
Over the years, Rasta would take an opportunity to paint many South African artists, but the paintings were not as perfect. A lot of people thought that he was just trolling and was not a real painter until they noticed that he painted people as he tried to show love and appreciation to them.
Recently, he pained South African actor, Leleti Khumalo which got a lot of people happy because the painting looked better than his previous work.
He took to Instagram to share the painting and in his caption, he wrote, “Painting Dr Leleti Khumalo, Esther Mahlangu a milestone achieved at Pietermaritzburg Botanical Gardens KZN exhibition Art in da park alongside Wise Mncube.”
