Speke manamela biography

Hi. My name is Buti Manamela.

I’m from Modimolle. Today, I will be voting there, in my township, in my home – 0510!

The home of the sacred mountain! The home of Commissar Teenage Monama, Nelson Makamo, Bujo Mojo, Speke Manamela, Amogelang Motau amongst many others.

As I vote, I’ll take you through the history of the town as my childhood friend Phineas, who is a taxi driver, drives us through some of our childhood places - my first crèche, pre school etc.

I will introduce you to the people I played soccer with, was in the SRC with, was in church with and that I attended college with. I will introduce you to more of my friends, such as Butiki, who is literally one of the funniest people you will meet.

I will introduce you to my family members and a few folk who have a rich history of the town. My, we will even have some street food.

In essence, catch a #TaxiToThePolls with me Buti Manamela from Modimolle. A no holds barred - Unrehearsed Day with the people of Modimolle as they cast their votes and share their reasons for voting with us Phineas, Butiki and I.
