Now a brand on his own, Darion Sithole, who goes by the stage name of Motswafere, continues to turn heads wherever he goes. Although he might not have scooped the prize of the competition last year, his My Star participation was both instructive and invaluable. After attaining the third position from the competition, one of the prizes was a sponsorship to go and study a music-related course at any tertiary institution. However, Motswafere declined the offer to do music and is now doing Economics and Public Administration at the University of Botswana (UB).
In an interview with Showbiz, Motswafere said, "I did not want to go and do a music course then come and have nothing to fall back on." He states that My Star opened doors for him because it allowed him to put his creativity into practice. He declared that he loves art in all forms hence why he was creative with his performances in the show. "My Star has played a role in elevating my image because that is where a lot of people got to see me and what I am all about," he said. Motswafere said that initially when he entered My Star, he wanted to get exposure and show people that there are different talents.
