A car accident opened his eyes
After quitting his job, it became difficult to earn a living so he had to come up with a plan. That is when he started to do something with his talents.
Lebohang Mosebetsi Nkosi is a businessman today because of the accident that nearly took his life some years ago.
Nkosi (27), owner of K1 Drums, shared with Kathorus MAIL the traumatic incident that completely changed his life.
Nkosi was en-route to a roller-skating competition to represent his club when he got involved in an accident.
“The injury affected my spinal cord. As a result, I can’t stand for a long time. Doctors told me not to continue with roller-skating because if I fall on my back I might be paralysed and be unable to walk permanently.
“I also lost my job because it required me to stand for very long time – the working conditions did not allow me to continue working,” said Mosebetsi.
After quitting his job, it became difficult to earn a living so he had to come up with a plan. That is when he started to do something with his talents.
“I have different businesses that I operate at no 229 Mokoena section, which are tombstone manufacturing, and playing a musical instrument.
“I am also a roller-skating assistant coach at the skating club that I played for before the accident. I am giving back to the community because I don’t get paid for that,” he said.
Mosebetsi said that he has already made a number of tombstones for community members.
“I plead with the community to support my businesses,” he said. Mosebetsi can be hired to play traditional Tswana music.
