Outgoing Mafolofolo women's volleyball team captain Tshepo Serwe, is considered to be one of the best talents this country has ever produced. After 12 years of commitment to the game, the affable captain has hinted that she will soon be handing over the captaincy band to somebody else. Mmegi Sports Editor TSHEPO MOLWANE visited the Molepolole-born star at Maikano Junior Secondary School on Wednesday evening for a heart-to-heart chat.

Mmegi: When did you start playing volleyball and what attracted you to the sport?
Serwe: I started playing volleyball when I was at Letlhabile Community Junior School (CJSS) in Tonota in 1993 because I loved the sport. Initially, I had wanted to play basketball but because there were no facilities then I was left with no option but to settle for another sport.

Mmegi: How come you joined Mafolofolo then?
Serwe: When I was doing Form Three at Naledi Senior Secondary School in 1996, some guys from Mafolofolo used to come and help our school team. They spotted something in me during sessions and invited me to their team, as they believed that I could become a better player if properly coached. As they normally say, the rest is history.
