 FROM GA SELEKA TO WITS – GROOTEGELUK 

 PROUDLY BACKS TOP 10 MATRIC ACHIEVER 

Grootegeluk is proud to be sponsoring Mpipi Cynthia Mabotja, a shining star from Lephalale’s Ga Seleka village, with a bursary to study Actuarial Science at the University of Witwatersrand (WITS). Not only did Mpipi achieve seven distinctions and 100% in Geography for her matric finals, but she was also named in the Top Ten Learners in the 2023 Provincial National Senior Certificate.

Exxaro sees South Africa’s youth as the catalyst for a brighter future. Sponsoring this exceptional student reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and enabling individuals to reach their highest potential. The bursary will cover her tuition, accommodation, meals and books.

The happy achiever met with Grootegeluk General Manager, Lazarus Ramashilabele, where he shared words of encouragement and well wishes.

The success of Mpipi highlights the true potential that lies within every community. That’s why Exxaro remains dedicated to uplifting individuals, families, and communities through the transformative power of education.
