As a child he was encouraged by his father to draw and paint, and so began painting murals in the family house and producing portraits from photographs of his father's employers. In 1928, at 16, Pemba lost his father. In an effort to help support his mother and large extended family that had been under enormous financial strain since his father’s death, he was supplementing his income with painting commissions. He won a Grey Scholarship, which enabled him to receive post primary education, and in 1931 he obtained a Teacher's Diploma. That same year he began working for the Lovedale Printing Press, and continued to work there until 1936. The following year he studied under Professor Austin Winter Moore for five months at Rhodes University, made possible through a bursary awarded from the Bantu Welfare Trust. Pemba was awarded a second bursary in 1941. This time he spent two weeks at Maurice van Essche's studio in Cape Town attending art classes. Despite years of adversity and poverty, George Pemba’s painting career spanned six decades - providing a visual history of what he had witnessed in a transforming South Africa. He had established himself as a pioneer of social realism, taking his inspiration from the realities and struggles of urban black people’s everyday lives in a troubled South Africa. This painting is homage to Pemba’s mother – it depicts her as the matriarch....strong, fierce, reserved. Following the death of Pemba's father, in a motorcycle accident in 1928, Rebecca (Pemba's mother), struggled to support her children. She washed clothes at homes in the white suburbs, walking many miles (as far as 30km a day) to and from work. I.L.
