Legendary visual artist, Phillip Segola and veteran music composer Gaotwesepe Robalang have been recognised for their respective contribution to the arts at the just ended National Arts Festival Awards ceremony.

The two were awarded trophies as well as P10,000 each for Best in Mentorship and Visual and Performing arts respectively. Segola, who hails from Molepolole, has a rich profile especially in the fields of fine arts in Botswana. A Motswana artist born in 1948 in South Africa, Segola emerged as a central figure in the art scene over decades.

As an artist, Segola has been responsible for some of the most recognisable designs in Botswana’s history such as the Tirelo Sechaba, Air Botswana and the Motho-le-Motho-Kgomo campaign logos.
