Masisi: The artistic President

Mookodi knows that in performing arts, Masisi has found his passion as a performer and as something closest to his heart, he might help the arts in the country to grow by all means possible. The duo met in 1968 and proceeded to share the same school at Thornhill Primary School in Gaborone where they spent seven years together before they proceeded to another English-medium school, Maruapula where they spent five more years together.

“Actually, we grew up together in a group of other students including now attorney Itumeleng Segopolo, quantity surveyor Tshepo Letsunyane, Reggie Molomo, Dr Godisang Mookodi now at the University of Botswana (UB), Mmakotswana Moilwa and Timothy Hermans amongst others,” reminisces Mookodi, whose father was renowned broadcaster, the late Rebaone Mookodi. This is part of the class of 1968 at Thornhill.
