Cornet Mamabolo sets up village library

The library is now set to be launched on Friday.

For Mamabolo, it took him three years to bring the whole project to life. The library is located in Boshega Primary School.

“We needed books that will speak to the youth and will be fascinating for the actual community. This is because we are dealing with a community that is not used to reading, or used to going to the library.”

Partnership

He did this in partnership with the University of Limpopo, the National Library and generous individuals to find books that would be fitting for the library.

“Education is the basis of everything. I don’t think I would be where I am and speak the way I am speaking if it was not for education. The idea is for them to get a taste of it,” he said.
