Educational books and stationery worth over P600,000 have been generously donated to five schools in the Ramotswa District. Bolux Group and RMB, in collaboration with the FNBB Foundation, presented the donation to Taung, Kelemogile, Ramotswa, and Baitlotli junior schools, as well as Kagiso senior school, at Taung Kgotla on Wednesday.

The gesture specifically targeted Taung and Ramotswa schools, reflecting Bolux Group's commitment to giving back to the community in their operational area.
Ms. Chipalaza-Tobedza explained that after discussions with school management about challenges, particularly declining academic results, they decided to empower the community through stationery donations. Bolux Group contributed over P400,000, RMB donated P150,000, with the remaining funds provided by the stationery supplier.
The Human Resource Manager attributed poor academic results to low work ethic and called for collaborative efforts from all stakeholders to enhance the teaching and learning process.

After learning about the positive initiative led by Bolux Group, they decided to partner with them to create opportunities for learners and the teaching fraternity.
