From a tender age, Mothoa was captivated by the rhythm of red ball against willow, a passion that would propel him into the annals of cricket history.
Mothoa’s love for the sport saw him honing his skills in local clubs, where he quickly became known for his natural flair in bowling. As a right-arm fast-medium bowler, Mothoa thrived on discipline and accuracy, a combination that made batsmen take note. By the time he made his professional debut in the domestic circuits, his reputation had taken root as a formidable adversary on the pitch.
