Lethabo's Biography
My name is Lethabo Mokgatle. I am an African Filmmaker studying in the hub of Hollywood at the New York Film Academy based in Los Angeles. I am also an artist as I sketch and paint and got a high school diploma in Art at the National School of Arts located in Johannesburg, South Africa.
​
I did many things growing up, from playing tennis thinking I would be the next Serena Williams after my first gold medal, to ballet dancing at the South African State Theater and tackling modelling for 8 years and finally having my first fashion feature with the South African fashion Brand known as Jet Fashion for their Donatella line for plus size models.
​
Looking back I realised I enjoy including myself in projects and networking events where I am able to meet new people and get a chance to collaborate with different artists. I recently shot a thesis film touching a sensitive topic about female circumcision that happens in East and West Africa as well as Islamic owned countries. This film is close to my heart and thankfully I managed to get the support from Africa's numberone broadcasting company known as the "Multichoice Group".
