Nestled in the Northwest province of South Africa, the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality stands as a testament to rural beauty and the resilience of its agricultural sector. In this context, fostering educational opportunities becomes imperative, especially for the vibrant youth of the region.
On the memorable date of February 7th, 2024, MaxProf and EST-Sourcing returned to the municipality, reflecting on their meaningful engagement in 2023. In the previous year, their generosity reached seven students with R100,000 in bursaries. Fast forward to 2024, and their commitment to the community remains unwavering, distributing R80,100.00 among fourteen deserving students.
Thirteen of these bright minds have chosen to pursue their dreams at Vuselela TVET College in Taung, a hub of learning and growth. Another student has ventured to the University of Pretoria, symbolizing the diverse paths carved by this collaborative initiative.
Thulaganyo, a proud SASCO member and student leader at Vuselela TVET in Taung, stood as the voice of gratitude for all the awardees. She eloquently expressed how the collaboration between Dr Ruth Municipality, MaxProf, and EST-Sourcing serves as a catalyst for inspiration and academic advancement, echoing the sentiments of many students within the program.
Quoting the powerful words of Malcolm X, Thulaganyo emphasized, “Education is the passport to the future, and tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” This quote encapsulates the significant impact that MaxProf is making, not just in the lives of individual students, but in shaping the collective future of the community.
Adding to the chorus of appreciation, Executive Mayor Alpheus Maje took the stage, expressing heartfelt gratitude to MaxProf and EST-Sourcing for their invaluable support. Drawing parallels, he likened MaxProf to an olive branch, symbolizing acts of goodwill that have had a positive ripple effect on the entire community.
Mayor Maje went on to stress that the investment made by MaxProf not only transforms the lives of students but also contributes to the broader societal landscape. Echoing the words of Nelson Mandela, he shared the belief that “a child of a farmworker can become the future president,” illustrating the profound impact of MaxProf and EST-Sourcing on inspiring and uplifting the community as a whole.
