FRANCISTOWN: Like a Setswana mastermind, he would play around with his mother tongue like a tongue twister, tickling people with his words that would sweep right through the listener's ears with ease like the sound of an electric guitar

He is known around Francistown as Ngwao Putswa when uttering his Setswana-rich poems. Ngwao Putswa, real name Lucky Nkhurutshi, is a master of Setswana language. He spits complex Setswana terminology that would not only move the crowd, but would have also impressed our ancestors.
