PALAPYE: It is not everyday that one gets to meet a versatile artist such as Othusitse Noge. At 28, he is a sculptor, painter, bead-worker, keyboardist and vocalist thanks to an early start in the arts and support from his teachers and family.

While in Form 3 in 2003, he won a national competition (sculpting category) held at Khama III Memorial School in Serowe.
