Ofentse Ntoli Molefe born in 1982 December 13th, Ofentse meaning Victory and Ntoli was the name of his Grandfather in Phokeng hence theN2nd as an initial. He grew up in a township called Tlhabane located in Rustenburg in the North West Province of South Africa, in those early years it was known as Bophutatswana.He started by attending Lapologa day care center where the teachers realized that the boy was gifted and became free spirited in general arts. As a young chubby introvert boy he met a lot of challenges that nearly destroyed him. Due to the hush expectations of a society that defines how, what and who you should be, some of his challenges were eye visibility known as myopia which forced him to were spectacles and the body weight as he was born chubby. When he was at L.D. Matshego Primary School he started the habits of eating far less food and far less nutrients required by his body which is known as binging and then the disaster of body weight fluctuation happened. There were many people who were noticing this problem, one of the teachers in L.D. Matshego Primary school Known as Mrs Kole started to ask questions and started to tell the boy to stop the so called diets and start eating properly In his early years he attended the Pentecostal Holiness Church on his mothers side then moved to Anglican Church on his father’s side. He was mostly looked after by his grandparents, who were Andrew and Mmatsela Dibetsoe and Gabaitse Molefe. He occasionally visited his Parents Meshack and Rose Molefe who were living in Mogwase and working at Mogwase health center and later moved there to continue his studies in Morongwa Primary School. While growing in an urban town with few people on the street the mind started to process creative thoughts and he started to develop things he himself did not understand from traced drawings to tin wheels and metal cars. As the years progressed he joined the St. Laurence (Servers Guild) which was known as St. Michaels (Servers Guild) by then in St. Andrews Anglican church in Tlhabane, that’s where he met Lucky Siphiwe (Tonto) Njuza who played a major role in helping the young boy establish himself in religion, the Bible, the guild and its operations, this was truly a crucial stage in his life. Amongst other people, he met Mrs Masilela who was his physical science teacher and taking his creativity to Science Expo’s in Kgatsheng middle school who ended up as a priest and eventually called Ofentse back to the Alter as a lain Minister As a young boy eventually grew up he found himself going through trials and tribulations in life, he found himself meeting Thabo Moloi who was his class teacher and Afrikaans teacher in H.F. Tlou High School. The most crucial statement that Thabo Moloi made which he named inflation “People buy things they don’t want, with the money they don’t have, at a price they can’t afford to impress people they don’t care for” this was a major turning point for Ofentse as he eventually started to deal with some issues, for starters having a voice from deep under and started celebrating life, with all that inspiration done by Thabo Moloi who also became a priest there came new avenues of life, the return of that creative touch started to show itself again. Later on he went on to study Carpentry and Joinery in Tshwane South College Odi Campus in Mabopane where he met Mr Mohulatsi and Mr Klass Manamela who taught him an important lesson which was (Stay in school and always seek the fountain of knowledge). Two years later he went on to study Media Design and technology where he met Marietjie Alwage and Tania Swanepoel who taught him another crucial lesson which was (This world is not for sissy’s and if you are a willing contender fight another round and do so until you arrive at the final destination of success, amongst other people who supported him in his dreams and life were his aunts, uncles and cousins who are Favour, Priscillar, Rapula, Olga, Oriel, Tshidi, Doris, Sampie and Mpho. From those crucial lessons of life he blossomed into a brilliant creative person who had a vibrant future ahead of him. Life started to happen and the creativity was not stopping and there came the birth of Leano La Botaki Trading Enterprise cc. which was registered and administered by Tshepo Mokwatsi in Mahikeng in 2008. Website of the company came to be in existence and the first Radio advert in Motsweding FM with Lebo Leabile and Samson Mashabane took place and the future was more and more brighter. Having decided to venture into the main stream white market another advert with Thomas Msengana at 5 FM was created and the rest was history. The internal work schedule which Ofentse used forced him to create more and more material and some of that material will surely be published and seen years beyond his departure in this world. To him he wanted to create a Media Empire and Believed in it. The creation of a huge content of designs all round was a sue strategy as he created a document called strategic Business Survey which remained under extremely private and confidential
