Thero Matenge is an elated man after he finally cracked the technological code to build his Unmanned Aerial Vehicle from scratch (UAV) with the help of his sibling, Tiroyaone Matenge.

The two were able to complete the UAV with funding support from the Botswana Digital and Innovation Hub (BDIH). At the Matsieng Airstrip in Rasesa last week, Matenge (Thero) did a flight demonstration before relevant stakeholders showing the UAV prototype and what it is that he has been working on for the last few years.
