I learnt a lot about life including speaking rich Setswana language. This teaches me to be responsible at a young age. Partaking in this play helped me a lot. I learnt different Setswana idioms and proverbs. I am also doing pretty well in Setswana subjects.

I am also passing my Setswana compositions,” he said.
