Mahurero was born in Angola in 1967, and is the mother of three children. She came to Botswana from Angola when she was a year old.

Mahurero learnt to weave from her mother, who was a very good weaver. She is now teaching her teenage, pregnant daughter to weave. "She is a foolish girl for eating the food of adults (getting pregnant) when she is still a child". Hopefully the school will allow Shumbi to return once the baby is born. Mahurero will not teach her son to weave because in their religion and culture it is not good for boys to weave.

Traditionally the weavers made baskets only when in need of cash for a specific purpose. Mahurero used to weave for one week and then rest for a week. Now she is a member of the Etsha Weavers Group, and weaves full-time. Mahurero pictures the design in her mind before she begins weaving, so knows what the basket will look like from the beginning. She likes darker colours more as they do not fade so fast. She combines different traditional designs to come up with intricate new patterns, and is one of the best weavers in the country, despite bad eyes which operations do not seem to cure. She has won numerous prizes for her bowl shaped baskets.
