Interests
Travelling (wish i had enuf funds for that), Chess, Lawn Tennis (never played on the grass though!), Movies, Gym (will embark on this full time now), Movies, Programming (need to learn more, i know C and HTML and basics of C++)
i would love to pilot a jet fighter someday – like the F117 stealth fighter or F35 fighter
If i learn to pilot one of these babies i would have fulfilled a lifelong dream, well..and i would love to own a Ferrari too – maybe the F430 or a Lamborghini – the Gallardo – far fetched dream? Everyone is allowed to dream! Its what keeps us going…
…we are all victims, our destinies are decided by a cosmic roll of the dice, the winds of change, the vagrant breezes of fortune that blow from the windmills of the Gods…
im the master of my fate, im the captor of my soul

Yeboo! Monna Mkababa it’s very good that you managed to achieve what you have achieved. A job well done my man!
But I think you should remove Design & Technology from the subjects you say you did at Moshupa Senior. I know you were not in that class & I was. he-he-he! kana gongwe o ne o re tswela pelo mr ha o re bona re tshotse di-file tsa teng re ntse re tshwantsha jaana wa bona.
Myself am in Sowa-town, Botswana. Location: Makgadikgadi pans skit beside Sua-pan.
I work at Botswana Ash (pty) Ltd. as a chemical/Process engineer. It’s a fascinating job. We produce sodium chloride and sodium carbonate from brine pumped underground.
I see animals by the road every day when driving to and from work. It’s a relaxing experience in deed.

Erm, Gaofenngwe considering i have a certificate ya excellence in Design & Technology at home plus i was the selected school representative for NDETEBO i would say someone made a grave mistake!
