Mmakgabo Mmapula Mmangankato Helen Sebidi was born in 1943 in Marapyane near Hammanskraal in the Mpumalanga province. Her work is represented in private and public collections, including the South African National Gallery and the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington.
In 1991, acclaimed South African artist Helen Sebidi’s artworks were presumed stolen in Sweden. Three decades later, a caretaker at the residential college where they disappeared found them in a ceiling cupboard, still in their original packaging.
