Q: WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU CAN ACT & HOW DID YOU BECOME AN ACTOR?
A: My passion for acting sparked 5 years ago when I got the opportunity to assist in a film production set. The commitment deepened when I started appearing in a short film called Moipolai and I realized I could be an actress. I have appeared in over three film productions, Madimabe, Ga Go Bonolo, and Mojwadi. I found a passion for both on-screen and off-screen work, resulting in the production of a 26-episode documentary that licensed by BTV called ‘Femprenuers’ by Final Frame aiming to empower women in the creative industry.
Q: YOUR BEST SCHOOL MEMORIES AS A STUDENT
A: One of my fondest school memories was at Kgamanyane CJSS when we embarked on a school trip to Lobatse at Botswana Meat Commission. I believe it was when I was in form 2/3, though the exact year eludes me. During this trip, we learned about the fascinating process of using horns to create coat buttons, which sparked a deeper interest in farming within me. The revelation that dung could be utilized as valuable manure further solidified my appreciation for agriculture.
