Actor laments poverty in performing arts

One of his latest achievements is acting as an extra in the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency (Mma Ramotswe) movie that is currently being shot in Botswana. He was lead actor Maru in Snapshots, an adaptation of Bessie Head's 'Snapshots of a Wedding' and 'Maru'. Snapshots recently showed at the Little Theatre at the National Museum.

 
   In the story, Maru's friend Kegoletile (played by Charles Tsiane) is a rich cattle baron who has a child with the beautiful, humble and well-mannered Mosarwa woman Margaret (Lebogang Keletso). Kegoletile decides to wed Neo (Mmaleyena Kealotswe) because she has a degree in the Sciences while he shuns Margaret who has a degree in the arts. Maru, who is secretly in love with Margaret, encourages Kegoletile to marry Neo. He later elopes with Margaret.
