  • Comment: There is little to no/very limited information about Motsamai's early life. He became noteworthy for being imprisoned for killing a white traffic officer during apartheid. I managed to wangle out three hooks.

• Review by LunaEatsTuna: article is problem-free, well-written, expansive—noting that little is known about his early life—free of plagiarism, and sourced with RS publications (Independent Online, News24, etc.). QPQ not required as third DYK nom. All hooks are factual and cited in article: I personally recommend ALT2 as it intrigued me the most. 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 15:54, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
