At the age of five he began modelling in clay, and later took to drawing in chalk on his older brother's school slate - until he had a slate of his own. When he was eight he attended the mission school, where pencils and paper were available and he realized that he had a special talent for drawing. Some years later, he found an old sketch book belonging to his father, with crayon drawings. This was a revelation to Sekoto who had not known that coloured crayons existed. He began to draw; initially his subjects were his own family and then visitors who came to their house. For the rest of his life, his subject matter focused on people.
