Steven Diseko is one of Botswana's most well-known artists, whose work have been the attraction centre for places such as the National Museum and Botswana Telecommunications Authority and the Gaborone Main Mall.

He told Showbiz that his passion in art has made him grow into a better artist and that if young artists would invest more efforts and enhance their talent, art in this country would make a better profit out of the industry.

His sculptures are displayed at the recently launched vocational institution, Oodi College of Applied Arts and Technology (OCAAT). He has dedicated one of the sculptures: which depicts a woman carrying a child on her back, with a traditional basket on her head, called Fruit-full to the institution.  "This sculpture shows the strength of an African woman.  As you can see, she is carrying a child and a fruit basket on her head. African women are strong as they are able to carry many huge responsibilities with grace. This is what this school of art can do," he said. He said this institution could bring many positive results.
