He was born in the small village of Phokeng on the outskirts of Rustenburg. At the age of five, his family moved to Mafikeng where, at the Mmabana Cultural centre, he got his first taste of performance when he performed in a pantomime called A Dragon For Dinner.
In 1998, Mothusi enrolled at the Wits School of Dramatic Art. In his first year of study he auditioned for all plays at Wits and got into two: Death and the Maiden where he played Gerardo Escobar and Little Shop of horrors, in which he played Audrey Two.
In 2003, a friend asked him to be Harry Lime in his production of The Third Man and Mothusi asked agent Moonyeenn Lee to watch the production. Two days later she signed him to her agency and through her he filmed his first film: Gums and Noses, followed by Hotel Rwanda and Tsotsi (Oscar Winner for Best Foreign Film), as well as FNB commercials.
He has acted in numerous theatre productions including The Third Man, Stones in His Pockets, Venus, Four, Lysistrata, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Bread and Butter, Maid in the New South Africa, American Buffalo, The Coloured Museum, Sexual Perversity in Chicago and Hamlet.
