Mr Lesala Arnold Khetheng

Lesala Khetheng
"You can walk a horse to river, but you cannot force it to drink the water," has always been his actions. He would tell you everything you need to know that is wrong and wright, but it's all up to you whether you want to listen to him and act upon it or not. Mr Lesala is a very busy man, but you would never find him missing anything that he needed to do. Do you wonder why? Because he knew how to spend his time. He lives up to " If you want to be more productive, you need to become the master of your minutes". A person who claims they know Mr Lesala would know how much he loved his teams! All of them even!

Starting from the very first time when he was still a learner at THS WELKOM HTS. He was a consistent and a hard working learner. One of the best the school has ever had! Not only did he grow to become the best in everything he did, but also did he become one of the best coaches at school. He lifts as he rises and he makes sure that you rise whether you want to or not ... Honour, Courageous and Dignity are his full names! He is one of a kind. Mr Lesala took my school to higher levels. He took my peers including me to places we never thought we'll reach! High ! Very High places I say! I'm talking about my debating coach here.

I never understood why he would train us for 10-15 minutes during a 1 hour 30 minutes sports period. He would just say "Sir Alex, you guys must learn how to conduct a training yourselves! Every time when you enter the classroom, I must find you guys discussing relevant status quo related issues. Never waste previous time on asking each other how you are doing or whatsoever, if you want to socialise, do it during breaks"... The same would apply to basketball players. That taught me to manage my time because no one else can do that for you ... In short, thank you for all the memories spent. Thank you for all the lessons and all the hustles you went through to get us to tournaments!

All the best with your future endeavours. May the Holy God be with you and your family. Marriage is a big step, but trusting in God can make it a walk in the park.

️May God bless you and your new wife.
