Born in Maun, Thabeng is an author and poet who is also aspiring to be a motivational speaker. She decribes herself as an artist because she says she considers herself a creative. "I wrote and published three books. These include a novel titled “From The Ashes”, a story titled “Still Waters” and a combination of poems & short stories called “Silent Voices”. From The Ashes is about how teenagers struggle with life and changing of environment. It is about bullying at school, HIV/AIDS, cancer awareness, parenthood and abuse. To be honest, it is a story that engulfs almost every situation that both teenagers and parents deal with on a day-to-day basis.
On the other hand, Still Waters is a simple depiction about what happened to a lot of people when the corona virus hit our country. How it affected individuals as well as those around them while the short stories and poems were just a challenge that I gave myself. "Growing up without a mother was very difficult even though I was living with a family that regarded me as one of their own and I had the support of my mother's siblings. I felt like there was a piece missing. So I would write in my diary, make up a story about how I wish life would be or how I thought life could be if she was still around. That is when the novel actually came into play.
