Phetolo’s talent is now his source of livelihood

FRANCISTOWN: Mosimanegape Phetolo, a native of Serowe, makes a living by painting and imagination drawing. The 19-year-old teenager started drawing and painting during his primary school days using pencil, pen, charcoal and paint to create his artwork.
