Lekone: The footballer-turned-biker

He fell in the love with quad bikes after watching the annual 1000km Desert race while still a youngster. The route for the bikes passed through his village, Metsimotlhabe and Lekone developed interest in the sport.

His love for the sport was also influenced by the fact that with his friends, he used to watch races at Molapo Crossing next to Gaborone West. Since he could not afford to buy even the cheapest bike, he like many other children resorted to playing football.
