Indeed Letsatsi has come a long way to be where he is right now. A journey that started in his childhood days though, as a boy, he had no idea whatsoever that eventually the character he had would be the one paying bills for him. Even though the skill he possesses may look easy to some people, Letsatsi is quick to mention that it takes courage and a strong will to succeed.He tells Arts & Culture that he used to be a naughty child while growing up. "I was by far one of those pupils who the whole school knew were naughty and playful, I was everyone's favourite and my classmates often told me that it was always a dull day for them if I missed school as I always brightened the class up with my playful habits," he reminisces.
This behaviour, which some thought was weird, saw him evolve into an actor at his secondary school. "I joined drama club and traditional dancing when I got to high school and funny enough within a short period of time I had won the hearts of fellow students and surprisingly teachers, as the best drama student, and I used to get awards for it at every prize-giving ceremony," he said.All the awards inspired the young man to consider acting as a career.In fact, many viewers may remember seeing him in the local drama series that used to air on Botswana Television (Btv) called Thokolosi. Letsatsi won the directors' faith at the auditions and he got himself a role of a police officer called 'Sticks' who had similar characteristics. Like Letsatsi, Sticks was forever joking around even when matters at hand demanded seriousness.
