We were classmates, just. Because I was deemed to be naughty, I was transferred to a stricter teacher for my final year at the Mafhikana Primary School, his class. I was 13 years old. He was about the same. Every time I think of the USA94 World Cup, I remember him. As anticipated, most boys in my new class were always talking football, including the USA tournament. He was very vivid and persuasive with words, particularly the way he described and admired the Bulgarian and Nigerian Footballers, such as the great Hristo Stoichkov and the legendary Rashidi Yekeni.
Just recently, we reconnected; he told me that he writes. And he rhymes. I was not surprised. I checked him out. Daaamn! I was surprised. And now he has a track with the legendary Nomadic, who is my favourite Rapper from Botswana. I can’t wait for his upcoming album: Persona Non Grata. http://urbanwavesrecords.com/album/all-drinks-on-mi
