Moshinga was born in 1970 at Shakawe, Botswana. She is unmarried and has four sons.

Her third son has disappointed her by dropping out of school at the age of 11 years. She is worried about how he will support himself later in life.

Before becoming a full-time weaver at the Etsha Weavers Group Moshinga supported her children and herself by farming and occasionally weaving baskets. She joined the Group in November 2001, and is happy there because she earns more money with which to feed her children.

Although Moshinga can now weave intricately designed baskets which are of the highest quality, she still loves weaving the traditional 'peolwane' (swallow) design, using black and orange dyes as they contrast so well.
