Alumni Profile of Boingotlo Joan Legalamitlwa

Started at Tsogo High School in 1992 and matriculated in 1997. Earlier I attended Primary School at D P Kgotleng, in  Unit 2,  Mmabatho. I later continued to University of  Cape Town

Currently, I work as a curator in a cape town based art gallery – Michael Stevenson. The gallery has a team of 5 curators who manage the gallery artists as well as their exhibitions at the gallery and elsewhere. Gallery artists include South African greats such as Pieter Hugo, Nicholas Hlobo, Zanele Muholi, Penny Siopis, Berni Searle and Nandipha Mntambo among others. The gallery functions as the artists support base – from the conception of artworks, through the production and beyond the exhibition phase. Most importantly, we help sell their products to reputable collectors and institutions as well as insure that their art is marketed in art circles around the world.

Alumni Profile of Botlhale Mabatshidi Nong

I started at Tsogo High School, in Std. 6, in 1982 and matriculated in 1986.I had a number of nicknames while there. was called “die ou boemelaar” (the old bag/homeless person) from this Afrikaans fictional piece we read in Ms Letebele’s class – because I carried a HUGE green bag with ALL my books and dictionaries, a thesauraus (English, Afrikaans and Setswana) and Bible in it. I was also called BoMaNo (the first two letters of my names). Even though I now have a degree in Sports Science, I did not participate in a lot of sporting activities except for karate, which was offered for a few months in the middle years of my time at Tsogo and drum majorettes, which ALL female students were forced to join – I hated this so much! It seemed to me that all the people participating in the major and most popular sports offered (netball, soccer, volleyball etc) were some of the most popular people at school – and I was not one of those. I did a bit of debating, theater and music (but these faded out pretty much as soon as they started). Our librarian started a few interesting “book and reading circle” type of activities that I also participated

Much earlier I did my Sub A in Meadowlands, Soweto, Johannesburg and the rest of primary and middle school at: Lesego Primary School and then Tswelelang Middle School in Zone 4, Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria

When did you start and finish at Tsogo?

Well I started my standard six in 1984 and completed my Matric in 1989.I had to repeat std. 6 because of the bad company I was in. I was given an option to proceed with my standard 7 in another school (DC) or repeat std. 6 at Tsogo. I wanted to go but my father insisted that I repeat.

I did my primary at De-Wildt Roman Catholic School (Holy Redeemer), which is today called Morekolodi in Mmakau and I had 3 principals there, Sister Reader, Sister Xavier and Sister Kieren.
