Southern Africa Nazarene University (SANU) has donated its out‑of‑circulation books to Nhlangano Evangelical Christian Academy (NECA) and other stakeholders within the Manzini Nazarene Mission Station. The initiative gives the books a new purpose while fostering a strong reading culture among learners. The donation followed NECA’s request to SANU for reading materials.
During the handover on Friday, 12 June 2026, SANU Vice Chancellor Dr. Faith Mlotsa‑Mngomezulu emphasized the importance of building strong relationships with mainstream schools. She noted that universities rely on these schools for students, making collaboration essential. She said: “We rely on mainstream schools and we must continuously find ways of working with schools and the wider community.”
Dr. Mlotsa‑Mngomezulu also highlighted SANU’s commitment to developing thought leaders grounded in Christian values, stressing that education is a continuous journey from primary school through tertiary education. She underscored the importance of instilling a reading culture early, quoting: “The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
Receiving the donation, NECA Principal Dr. Simelane expressed gratitude, noting the school’s vision of nurturing responsible, well‑read citizens. She highlighted the school’s steady growth since its establishment and expressed optimism about continued collaboration with SANU. Would you like me to adapt this into a short press release, a friendly social media caption, or a formal announcement letter?
