Please, let us get the name of this amazing prodigy correctly “BOTLHALE” … is her name!!! “BOTLHALE”
good talent…. good head……….
I’ve got to admit, I sat through her performances with tears running, involuntarily, and unashamedly, down my cheeks. Clyde is absolutely correct, BOTLHALE is a name I shall never forget (BOT (silent L) HA – LÉ). What a girl, what an inspiration for ALL the youth of today ALL over the world – not only SA. Our own “Land of Hope and Glory” especially springs to mind.

I stand corrected…BOTLHALE …typographical error…my appologies ..
maybe too emotively inspired…thanks clyde..
the clue was in the pronounciation indeed.
kamptan
BOTLHALE is a name I’ll remember. And like you, Kamptan, I might have misspelled it. Thanks to Clyde for making us more aware.
BOTLHALE is indeed a beautiful, charismatic and gifted child. As a poet, she is extraordinarily talented.I dabble in poetry writing, but I’m humbled by BOTLHALE’s powerful words and performance. I’m certain that BOTLHALE will continue to be dominant as a protaganist on the stage of poetry and life….not only in South Africa but worldwide.
Congratulations BOTLHALE, you are indeed an inspiration to all of us….children and adults.
BOTLHALE, you have my vote to be the winner of the competition. Best wishes for success
BOTLHALE – a child, a poet, a bright light in the darkness we adults have spread across our world.
BOTLHALE is a born Poet. I watched in awe with some astonishment at this 11 year old child’s recital and actions with such professionality. You can help us by having your poems published as early as possible as you are so gifted.You are like a star born as a shining light to the world. May the Almighty be your helper in your future endeavours. Thanks for making my day sweetheart.
Cliff.

I witnessed BOTLALE’S poetry with excitement and waves of emotion. As a child of color born in the time of apartheid I celebrate the freedom and strength that this very young poet so beautifully expresses in her performance.
Her light is a bright beacon of hope.

What a wonderful, talented and inspirational human being. She is God’s gift to South Africa..nay…to the world. May she unleash her talents in a way that helps to change us for the better.
Ms. Botlahle, one of God’s precious jewels, she shines and brings pride not only to her native South Africa, but to all of Africa as a whole, and an inspiration to the youths the world over.

Please please commentators …refrain from the God thing in comments
We all accept an explanation that God inspires but to “praise” God for her
Talented performance is a bit OTT (over the top) ….BOTLHALE is a very
talented child…the child of caring and loving parents…that’s what will
influence her in her lifetime…if that includes the belief in a God the choice
will be hers…que Sera Sera…am sure her family and friends will also influence
her in the decisions she will have to make.
Sorry if my comments offend but it was necessary.

Imagine turning on your computer at work and going through your daily ritual of checking work emails. After weeding out the unimportant stuff, you click on a link. After clicking the link, the most beautiful and angelic face appears. Wow! Yes, South Africa has talent. I’ve seen so many of these shows; however, I must say that Botlahle wowed me. Tears hung on the fringes of my eyelids as I held my breath. Never have I witnessed such a powerful performance in one so young. I, too, must give the Almighty Creator (God to those of you who wonder about such things) for her genuine talent. Believe me when I say that all talent is a gift from Him. In and through Him, Botlahle is destined for greater heights.
BOTHLALE I admire you greatly. No word suffice to describe you.
BOTHLALE, you are really a talented young lady. Your are gifted by God with an abundance of talent. You are certainly an inspiration to all youth!!! I wish that you had been one of my students. Please keep up your splendid performances.
I love your poetry and your dramatizations. You’re a little angel. May God continue to bless you with an abundance of talent. Your poem dedicated to President Nelson Mandela brought tears to my eyes.
Love and Hugs,
Mrs. Marian BNoone

Bmt. Texas, is where we. i learned this extraordinary level of above the summit, is available to me when i am obedient to the stars. This BOTHLALE is soring as our Native People lives, in the heights of the reaches of the Eagle, yes she is. A salute to Mother, Father, family community, and to the AZANIAN People, politically known as South Africans. May “NKULUKULU”, ALMIGHTY, Noble Ancestors, rightly guided Elders, and others; continue to nurture this SPIRIT of the ages in LOVE, that flows through , Bothlale’s reawaken God self. Your Poem to President for life Nelson R. Mandela; adds to the greatest of the GOD in all of us who receive; and i am vibrating to this day. Africe Will be liberated of all traducers, outwardly, inwardly, and any other ways of the CREATOR’s will. The Hon.Marcus M. Garvey’s departed this week on June 10, 1940; he and all the liberators are smiling at the returning of this wonderful, vibrant SPIRIT of the TRUTH, in LOVE. i am your Obedient Servent, Bro. T. A . ODUNO, WDC/USA
As I am speechless, my tears are running through my face seeing a youngster like Bothale performing THAT GOOD(!), with all forms of dignity without hatred and glory, I do believe in the existing of the All Mighty within all of us! Seeing Bothale and taking good notes of her words outspoken, I feel very much confident that there is still hope for our youngsters to grow up like balanced civilians… Thank you Bothale, thank you God for sending this Spirit for providing us the hope we were lacking…
God bless you all!

I’m from Guyana; visited S. Africa for a week in 2000, & something has been pulling me to go back there; now I know – it’s Botlhale, the most recent of my ‘adopted’ grandchildren – with beauty, intelligence, charisma, talent, and a spark of the divine will that lies dormant in so many of us – the will to shine, the fearlessness to expose, and and acknowledge, the child inside each of us. Shine on, little lady!!
Botlahle is an AWESOME DIVINELY INSPIRED GIFT FROM GOD TO PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Botlhale, you are GOD-SEND! Keep on shining my dear. You are so blessed. Not only S. Africa is very proud of you, but we are too here in Curacao.

There are just no words in the dictionaries yet to be able to describe BOTLHALE’S talent in poetry and performance. My tear canals need a tube insertion to train the tears which that pretty young girl’s magical and angelical performance produced. R
Without missing words, I know the White House will love to see something like this presented to them one of these days. OMG, this girl is a punch of talent, I cant wait for my President to invite her to recite some of her words of love to our people
.
Absolutely stunning! I kept crying for a while even after the video is done. What an amazingly blessed angel she is!! God bless her!!!
Amazing! I sincerely hope that Bothale can play a bigger role in the massive change that is happening (oh so slowly) in S Africa
She is an amazing talent,bringing joy to ones heart.
O dear, what an inspiration. My God continue to keep your feet in the straight and narrow pathway.
Botlahle, you are such a marvelous example of one who is fearfully and wonderfully made by our God. I pray that God continues to use your gifts and talents to minister to the world. You are soul stirring! I am seeing these clips for the 1st time today. Father Mandela passed this past Thursday. Listening to your tribute to him brought tears of joy to my eyes. I thank God for blessing me to be able to be blessed by your breath taking talents!
