Mokwahepo was born in Botswana in 1971 at Etsha 11. She is has two sons and a daughter, and still lives with her parents at Etsha 11. To get to Etsha 6 where the basket weaving group works takes two hours, so Mokwahepo is hoping to move soon.

Mokwahepo's favourite colour in baskets is red, and she sometimes makes trips as far as Shakawe to collect dyeing bark. She prefers to weave open, bowl shaped baskets, as they are faster to complete. Like most of the inhabitants in that area, Mokwahepo was once a farmer, but much prefers to be a full time weaver. The income is higher, regular and does not rely on sporadic rainfall. She is proud to be a weaver, and loves the fact that her baskets are sold to people in far away countries.
