My Family

My wife (Mapodu), My daughter (Mosike) and me (Thabe) in Clemson City, State of South Carolina, USA. Here follows the pictures of our life in a different country where we found home away from home. This is the sory of my life and I invite you to peruse. Enjoy!

Working on another House

In May 2007 I started helping build another House in a Town called Easely right here in South Carolina. It was a wonderful experience, I am getting used to this building projects and it's fun. We have a couple of engineers and counstructors to guide us all the way through. It's just amazing house the whole house can be built in just one month. The previous House was completed in Two weeks. Go figure.

When we start, it looks impossible.

Sometimes it's scarry, but hey, taking risks is my game. Climbing on roofs and hitting nails is my passion in this project. And I get to meet people from all over South Carolina and USA.

This the story of my life

Deep in the scotching South African sun in the northen villages of Limpopo Province, a man of his own unique vituosity and character was born on the 13th June 1977 in Mawa in Duiwelskloof. His parents Mashile and Motlatso were thrilled at his grand crusade. The world accepted his entrance and rejoiced at his presence. The young boy traversed many toils and adversities and got married at the age of 28 to Mapodu Ramaboya. They had a daughter on 11 May 2006 and named her Mosike after my(Thabe) sister. His love for music and travelling cannot be left unheralded. This is just a tip of an ice-berg, let us unfold the whole ice-berg for you.

This the first class I took in my first University years in the US and just look at the diversity in the class. I really enjoyed a new atmosphere and a new way of doing things and learned a lot in the process. Of course I got an A.

A GENIUS IN THE MAKING....

While checking-out Mozart's Sonata, she suggested an improvement in the piece.....

She read the Touch-and-Feel Farm book and complained that it has an obvious story-line

After study Mozart's Sonata Theme, it's time to try it out and hear how it sounds, What more can you ask for in a child?
