The event took place at the school sports ground. In attendance were parents, pupils, teachers and community members, including the ward councillor, Cllr Mongezi Nkosi.
According to Sifundza, the official handover marked an end to a dictionary drive run by his registered non-profit organisation called the Bonoswagg Books Drive with the help of fellow Mbombela-based organisation, Bookhive South Africa.
Bono Swagg, who is currently heading sports at Mpumalanga’s only commercial radio station Rise FM, thanked the many donors who heeded his plea for donations.
“I thank the sponsor of the campaign, SUPERSPAR The Grove Riverside. The retail giant played a pivotal role by investing in education,” said Sifundza.
He further encouraged learners from the school to use their new gifts wisely, while also stressing the significance of reading books far beyond normal school hours. He has vowed to adopt another Mpumalanga school next year.
During the event, visibly joyful learners from the school entertained with musical items.

School principal, Patrick Mashele expressed his great delight over the good charity work done by the Bonoswagg Books Drive.
“Despite his young age, Bono has displayed qualities of a mature leader. He has proved that charity indeed begins at home,” said Mashele.
He further acknowledged that the new dictionaries would not only help enhance the school’s library but would also improve the standard of literacy at Ngwane Primary.
