Mandumbwa was born in 1969 in [[Zambezi]] in the [[North Western Province]] of [[Zambia]], whose people are [[Luvale people|Luvale]]. He spent most of his childhood in [[Kitwe]] where he did his primary education at Prince Charles Primary School (now Matete). He first discovered his artistic gift in Grade 4 when he came across an illustration of an old farm fence and it was etched in his memory. He later reproduced the image and it won him accolades among his peers – and that set the beginning of his journey into the world of creativity. | Mandumbwa was born in 1969 in [[Zambezi District|Zambezi]] in the [[North Western Province]] of [[Zambia]], whose people are [[Luvale people|Luvale]].

Mandumbwa was to formally encounter Art while in junior secondary school at [[Matero Boys]] where he developed his craft. When later his paper mache sculpture was spiteful trampled on by his jealous classmate, he realised the extent of his gift and never looked back. He later went to [[Petauke]] in [[Eastern Province]] for his high school, but the school had no Art classes. This led him to study Technical Drawing and briefly entertained thoughts of pursuing Architecture but resorted back to Art when an Art teacher was later deployed to the school. | Mandumbwa was to formally encounter Art while in junior secondary school at [[Matero Boys]] where he developed his craft.
