“Teke revamped one of the old classrooms and turned it into a library, in 2008.
“His goal was and still is, to improve the quality of reading, learning and of acquiring knowledge for the learners.
“Therefore, he went on to employ a full time librarian for the school in 2014, to ensure the smooth running of this library and its proper management,” explains librarian Kamogelo Kgasoane.
She says every year, Teke also ensures he buys books for the school and any other library material the school library needs. He’s been a great support to the school, always going an extra mile for it and the learners.
