Early life
Dikgaka is originally from Molepolole and grew up in Palapye. She describes herself as proud of her Setswana cultural roots, citing the Dithubaruba cultural event as one of her favourite occasions. She was a shy child who developed a love for performing arts during primary school. Her family had a strong musical background: her grandmother sang in a church choir and her sisters participated in Sunday school choirs.[2]
She secured her presenting role on Flava Dome after responding to a casting advertisement that aired during the show itself, and impressed the selection panel.[2]
Career

Dikgaka became one of the most recognizable faces in Botswana entertainment through her co-hosting role on Flava Dome, BTV's flagship music program.

Live performance
In April 2019 Dikgaka staged A Night With Sadi at the Maitisong Festival in Gaborone, a solo performance directed by Tefo Paya in which she presented her skills in singing and poetry to a live audience. The show was described by Mmegi as Dikgaka coming into her own as a performer beyond television, having previously shared the stage with Kalanga balladeer Lizibo.[4]
Entrepreneurship and social media
Alongside her television work, Dikgaka has built a profile as a social media influencer and entrepreneur.
