Motamma Sesinyi - epitome of beauty with brains
Thursday, March 21, 2013

The 27-year-old beauty who describes herself as both beautiful and intelligent is pursuing a Master in Science (MSc) at Botswana College of Agriculture. She says she was raised by strict and highly disciplined parents who believed in the saying, "spare the rod and spoil the child."
Bearing this in mind, it is unfortunate to learn that she took the blame for almost everything that went wrong around the household.
