Katlego Motene was born in Soweto and is currently based in Cape Town, South Africa. He has been registered as an Architect with the South African Council of Professional Architects since 2011.
In 2007, Katlego curated “Inter(face) Southern Africa : Engaging our Lived Realities” which was on exhibit at both the Venice Architectural Biennial and the Royal Institute of British Architects. It was from this point he began to develop his main focus, which would ultimately lead to his Master’s Architectural Thesis, titled “Urban Re-vision”, from the University of Cape Town. After graduating as an Architect, Katlego spent time designing a series of buildings under the stewardship of GAPP Architects and Urban Designers. During this period, Katlego was tasked with designing multiple buildings, varying in scale, from inception through to close-out of construction as design architect and project architect respectively.
In June 2015, Katlego established the practice Toro Agency Design & Architecture, where he is pursuing his main focus, design in architecture.
