Kushamona was born at Shakawe in Northern
Botswana. She lives with her parents. She is not married and has two daughters
and a son. She learnt weaving from her mother, who wove patterned open
baskets.
Her children are still young so she can not teach them to
weave. She weaves all year round, and tries out all types of patterns. Her
favourite design is 'forehead of the zebra', and her favourite colours are
black and orange. She weaves to earn money to support her
children.
Kushamona collects the raw materials at the river with her
mother. She has not encountered any problems during the collection of
materials. She is proud of her baskets. Etsha Weavers Group, P.O. Box 11
