On Valentine’s Day 2025, Mabele NKL Holdings brought joy to the hearts of pupils from four primary schools(Madjadji, Ehleketani, Selwane and Vatswatswi) in Ga-Selwane village, Phalaborwa.

The company donated 2,356 school uniforms and shoes to Grade R-7 learners, leaving them beaming with excitement.

This generous gesture was made possible through the company’s “Adopt a School” initiative. The pupils were overwhelmed with gratitude, showering Mabele NKL Holdings with heartfelt thanks and admiration.

Norman Malatji, Chief Executive Officer of Mabele NKL Holdings, has a deep connection to the community, having been born and raised in Ga-Selwane. He understands the challenges posed by limited resources and poverty, and sees the donation as a way to give back to the community that nurtured him.

At Mabele NKL Holdings, we believe in investing in the communities we operate in,” said Malatji. “Our annual commitment to education is a testament to this belief. We’re proud to be planting seeds of hope and opportunity for future generations.”
