Nzima was born on August 8, 1934 in Lillydale, on a farm where his father worked in the small village of Bushbuck Ridge, Mpumalanga. He refused to be defined by his circumstances, while attending school he was inspired by his teacher to venture into photography. “I was inspired by our teacher, Ben Mhlongo. He came with a Kodak box camera and started taking pictures at our school. I couldn’t believe it,” Nzima once reminisced during an interview with Azania Mosaka in 2016.
