A 25-year-old Yaphet Motladi from Moshupa realised his passion for drawing at an early age while still at primary school.

This young artist then decided to pursue his dream of being a fulltime artist. In an interview with Arts & Culture, Motladi said his schoolbook covers were full of cartoons he watched on television. He further stated that his decision to pursue drawing as a profession was inspired by his cousin who was doing his final Junior Certificate Examination (JCE) art project.

“I saw my cousin Tshiamo Motladi drawing his Form Three final art project and it was so inspiring and  he was the one who made me, even though I wanted to be a better artist than he was. I then decided to do art at Boswelakgosi Junior School from 2011 to 2013. I continued doing art Kagiso Senior School from 2014 to 2015. I have been drawing since, using pencils and charcoal,” he said.
