"Education is indeed the key to success. It gives us knowledge of the world around us, while opening doors to brilliant career opportunities. Geleza neGagasi is one of longest serving CSI campaigns and has really grown over the years when you look at the impact in terms of learners and students we have been able to support each year. As Gagasi FM we understand the importance of education in nation-building and through this campaign, we are able to contribute positively towards the future and success of our children. We wish our KZN learners and students all the best for the 2015 academic year," says Gagasi FM Marketing Manager, Zippy Ndokweni.
The hand-over ceremony will also be attended by some of the Gagasi FM presenters, like Mzokoloko and DJ Sox who will give a motivational talk to learners and students as well as a science show by the KZN Science Centre. Geleza neGagasi - Encouraging learning and rewarding excellence.
