The school was presented with books at a ceremony held in Matopo. These books are a good mix of fiction, nonfiction, religious, historical, general knowledge and curriculum books.
In all, the donation totals around US$8,000.00.

The book donation forms part of his social responsibility to engender the habit of reading among students.

He observed that reading was fundamental if one was to function effectively in society; hence, the decision to donate the books to the school to enable the students discover new things for themselves, become creative and also develop their minds.

"I hope the comfort and excitement a book can bring to a person's life will help give these students a great start to the future", said Scotch Ndlovu.


There is a wealth of information to gather from books through reading, he continued.

Students were charged to take good care of the books so that it would benefit the future generation of students.

In attendance was the Interim Chairperson for Matopo Old Students Association Dumani Ndlovu and Reverend Albert Ndlovu.
