Mentors

Phodiso Dintwe is a musician, performer, and writer from Botswana. He was raised in his maternal grandmother’s village, Lentswelemoriti, alongside the Limpopo River, a stone’s throw from his kin over on the South African side of the water. Between these two places he began learning various Tswana and Pedi percussion styles at an early age. Music, dance and poetry are the gifts of his clan, Ba Moganetsi, and so he learnt those too. He is currently based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa, working as a musician and a performing arts practitioner-teacher. He has performed dance, music, and theatre in Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Malaysia, New Zealand, USA, Wales and England.
