Career.
Motlhabankwe is originally from a small village of Digawana just a few kilometers from Lobatse. Despite being one of Botswana's most celebrated footballers, Motlhabankwe did not play youth football and instead played athletics and table tennis at school. In 1997 he switched to amateur football after his father convinced him to join his newly formed team, DACARA FC. After plying his trade in the amateur ranks for several years, Motlhabankwe would make his professional football debut with Division One side Kanye Southern Pirates.
It was during his stint in Southern Pirates that he impressed scouts of Botswana Premier League giants Extension Gunners, whom he joined in 2000 and shortly afterwards he received a call-up to the Botswana national team. 
Motlhabankwe made his debut for the national team in a 4–1 win against Lesotho. He then cemented a regular position in the national team. Motlhabankwe would switch to fellow Premier League side Mochudi Centre Chiefs in 2007 and found immediate success, winning three leagues and an FA Cup. He also featured in Stanley Tshosane's squad, commonly known as the "Botswana Dream Team", which qualified for and played in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. He parted ways with Chiefs in 2013 and joined Gilport Lions (then known as BMC), whom he left in 2015.
Upon the expiration of his contract with Gilport Lions, Motlhabankwe chose not to renew and instead joined Township Rollers as a free agent. With Rollers, he would win four consecutive league titles and a Mascom Top 8 Cup. He was also part of the history-making squad which qualified for the CAF Champions League group stages in 2018. Towards the end of the 2018-19 season Motlhabankwe announced his retirement to focus on other ventures.
