Meet Basuhi, the unsung heroine

Basuhi is the co-founder of the popular traditional troupe, Mogwana, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year.  She formed the group in 1991 with the current Kanye South Member of Parliament (MP) Abraham Kesupile, who then was an educationalist. Basuhi said they formed Mogwana as a noble idea to help take the youth out of the the streets.  Besides the formation of Mogwana, the 56-year-old retired banker,  has been involved in a number of community development and art projects. 

Basuhi originates from the Motebejane ward in Kanye. Motebejane is a reservoir of eminent politicians because it is also the original home of former republican president Sir Ketumile Masire.
