Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The glitz and glamour of city life have always been the centre of his dreams, and Tebatso David Leboea finally got to live his dream. Know within the entertainment industry as \u2018Leader\u2019, Tebatso is an actor, a model and radio presenter bred and brought up in the rural valleys of Majoe-mat\u0161o, Ha Lesibe, in the Berea district.<\/p>\n

Despite growing up in rural Lesotho at the age of five Tebatso began showing zest for music and surrounded himself with its aura, unfortunately for him and many more of his peers growing up in this country then meant less or no opportunities at all.<\/p>\n

But he never gave up, nothing could stop him from striving to realise his dream\u2026he sang his lungs out through his primary and high school days. Ambitious as any child of his age growing up, he dreamt of leaving his rural village to live in the city surrounded by multiple properties \u2013 busking in the glitz and glamour of city life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny how now I would rather live in a farm or village than a city, I love the silence,\u201d he says to Life&Style. Following completion of his high school education, Tebatso enrolled with a higher learning institution in the middle of the South African city of Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018I have genuinely forgotten the name of the institution; maybe that\u2019s because six months after enrolling I learned it was a fly-by-night.<\/p>\n

We were scammed off funds our parents barely had, we filed a lawsuit against the institution but the school\u2019s representative fled, \u2019\u2019 he recalls with visible disdain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI then went on to study at Damelin correspondence college on a long distance learning programme where I studied radio broadcasting, during this time my family had moved to the Republic of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Following the completion of my course I moved back to the Lesotho to pursue a career in radio, and I landed a job at T\u0161enolo FM where I worked for a period of eight months.<\/p>\n

I then headed back to South Africa on account of arising family issues,\u201d he continues. Despite the rough ride in his journey, Tebatso\u2019s dreams have since seen the light of day.<\/p>\n

In 2018 he returned to Lesotho and joined Mxxl Radio where he is currently presenting the \u2018Pula Mahlo\u2019 programme on Saturdays from 6 to 9. This is a radio show that aims to give artists exposure and focuses on local information and entertainment.<\/p>\n

Also an actor, he landed a huge role of playing King Moshoeshoe I in a stage play by Bahale Arts and Development Centre. Tebatso Leboea is also an independent model and deems modelling to be an art that speaks volumes \u201cyet the majority of our people don\u2019t consider it as such.<\/p>\n

\u201d \u2018\u2018The youth today need to learn that talent, discipline, consistency, passion and working smart are our currency and we need to nurture it on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
