MOTSHELABOLA FINDS LOVE IN PLANTS

She became more innovative on how she could earn a living ...

MOSHUPA - There is no guarantee that one will automatically find a formal employment when completing their studies. It takes one to be brave, innovative and persistent enough to diversify their life in one way or the other.

An expression by an American polymath, Benjamin Franklin, "If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins," can be well defined by Moshupa's Ms Maipelo Motshelabola's life. Having grown up in the Southern District, Ms Motshelabola who is a Limkokwing University of Creative Technology's B Des (Hons) in Professional Design graduate dreamed of being formally employed in line with her field of study after graduating in 2021.

She returned to her home village. Reality hit back to its core and things did not roll out according to her wish. She became more innovative on how she could earn a living rather than folding her hands not knowing when formal employment opportunity would avail itself.

Driven by passion, Ms Motshelabola eventually found undying love in plants; fruit trees, ornamental plants, flowers and herbs towards the of the year 2022. In August 2024, she competed at the Moshupa District Show where she emerged grand champion with one of her herbs, coriander. Apart from their medicinal function, plants can also be used as a remedy to relax the mind.

As it takes time to build a strong clientele base, Ms Motshelabola said she had to be patient and always aim for customers' satisfaction. She revealed that her clients' response to her products was positive . Impressively, Ms Motshelabola envisioned herself owning a piece of land to expand her business in future and serve more clients. She is currently doing the business in her mother's backyard in Sedudu ward.
