The Pan Afrikanist Watchman

Dr. Bright Jefferson Ketlhaotswe, 21, is causing waves in the international scene as a certified Information Expert and a certified Artificial Intelligence expert.

Here is a young man that is sought by the world’s biggest economies, the USA and China! He has rubbed shoulders with the late chief executive officer of Apple, Steve Jobs.

When he waltzed into The Midweek Sun newsroom late Tuesday for an interview, he was fresh from New York at the invitation of White House.

The young man, a native of Lecheng, did his PhD at the Minnesota State University (USA) and among other attributes he is a certified Forensic Computer Examiner, a Deep Learning Expert and an Ethical Hacker as well as IT Expert.

His big break came late last year via the Expo2020Dubai when by stroke of Providence he joined the Botswana Investment and Trade Centre’s (BITC) innovation week and showcased his project, the Jettum Academy – an online cyber-security and network security institution.

That is when he met Godratti, the president of New Era College, who would later in Botswana introduce him to Alexander Rosso from Intel, an international company that deals in computer processing chips.


Rosso was looking for a Cyber Security Engineer and as Fate would have it, Bright was called for an online interview with Daniel Hatcher of Intel’s office in Sharjah, UAE.

Bright impressed the Intel management and started his job as a Cyber Security Engineer at Intel in Dubai on February 2022.

The young man, who returns to Dubai this Friday, March 255th has big dreams for the education of this country and prays for an audience with President Dr, Mokgweetsi Masisi to apprise him of his plans, which he believes are in congruence with the president’s Reset Agenda and the country’s vision to transition to a knowledge economy.
