| Signage: | When Randell studied art in Makhanda, a young Ernest Mancoba was sweeping leaves outside her studio. She needed a model and approached him, not knowing he was a sculptor working on an art commission in town. Years later, Randell learnt her sitter's identity and, in her 90s, handed over the work to be placed in a public collection. |
