Building on a strong foundation
MASERU-ONCE in a while, Palo Kotelo packs his bags and takes a drive to Mohale’s Hoek, his rural home. There, he connects with his people and nature.
It’s here that his journey started in 1947 when he was born into a polygamous family that worked hard to send him and his siblings to school.
Now 73, Kotelo still has fond memories of his childhood and the lessons from his father, mother and other elders in the family are still with him.
He takes early showers to start his day and immerses himself in his work until dusk.
