A new chapter of learning begins.
The official opening of the Kwetso Library at Setumo Sephethe Primary School marks a significant investment in literacy, education and the future of every learner. More than a collection of books, the library is a vibrant space where curiosity will be nurtured, imaginations will flourish and a lifelong love for reading will take root.
Established through a partnership between the Department of Basic Education, the Kwetso Foundation, Rama Mix and Mrs South Africa, the library reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to quality learning resources and creating opportunities for learners to reach their full potential.
As we commemorate Nelson Mandela Day, this milestone serves as a lasting reminder that investing in education is one of the most meaningful ways to honour Madiba’s legacy and build a brighter future for generations to come.
