Donald Leungo Gosego Molosi (born 11 December 1985) is an actor, writer and playwright from Botswana. Quotes My first show was a love letter to my country history but my third project is a critical love letter to my country. When I am with the president, he would say ‘hallo come here; let me have a photo taken with my dad. It started with my idea when I looked at my passport; it referred to me as a Motswana but there was some sought of discomfort with that. I find it odd. We use Motswana to refer to eight Tswana-speaking tribes, such as Bangwato, Bangwaketse and others. But they are separate tribes and people who reside in these areas and are referred to as Batswana. But they are not Batswana This show is all about Africa because I am investigating the idea of a Motswana. Ke mang yo o kareng ke Motswana. Le gore ke mang o o kareng ga se Motswana. Who could say that is a Motswana and who would say that he is not a Motswana? As a Mongwato, I could claim that I am Motswana in a passport and ethnically but Basarwa can be Batswana in a passport but not ethnically. But in my ideal world we could have something different. I was talking about his marriage but, in a way, there was lots of my feelings towards my own history that was involved in the show. Though Seretse was a statesman, when he was talking about his wife there was a lot of poetry and there was an emotional. I am going to expand the show and this will become apparent. As young people, we should make use of resources and history locked up in older generations.
