Biography: Nineteen years old at the time of the interview, Rabase Lehlohonolo is presently in his matric year at one of the high schools in Rammolutsi. He was born and raised on a nearby farm where his parents worked. In 1996 his family was evicted from the farm and went to work on another farm nearby. He came to Rammolutsi in 2000 to attend school and stayed with relatives. His parents soon followed and after living in a shack for awhile, managed to get a Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) house, where he presently lives. Rabase is active in the Students Representative Council (SRC) at his school and wants to go to university so he can become Rammolutsi’s first ‘home-grown’ medical doctor.
