Kushamona Keemetse
 


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.
