Mogalakwena Complex, in partnership with one of its contractors Paramount Trucks donated a multifunctional printer, 10 wheelie bins to Langalibalele High School and a cash gift.

The school principal appealed for help from Mogalakwena mine and his appeal was met with enthusiasm from the mine. Mogalakwena mine management assessed other areas of needs for the school and partnered with one of its contractors Paramount Trucks to meet the needs identified by also donating wheelie bins that will assist the school in ensuring garbage is sorted and stored away from learners and educators to avoid health risks associated with exposure.

Speaking during the delivery of the gifts, John Nkuna PMO Manager at Mogalakwena mine said 'Anglo American Platinum takes its social responsibility to heart and we hope our donation will help improve the learning environment for the learners of Langalibalele and that they will become future leaders who will contribute positively to the betterment of their communities.'
