South African artist, 81, keeps Ndebele traditions alive

Her forebears used dung and soil to colour their homes, but Esther Mahlangu was one of the first to start painting traditional Ndebele designs in bright acrylics on canvas. Now 81, the South African artist has no intention of slowing down, helping to preserve and promote her culture around the world.
