Debswana donates to Kgalagadi school

The donation of 50 chess sets and 40 clocks was presented to the schools by the mine's security manager Moagi Ndlovu at a ceremony attended by officials from the Botswana Chess Federation (BCF), the mine and the school. Speaking at the ceremony, Ndlovu said chess is a game of imagination that provide opportunities for intellectual growth.

"Chess teaches students to think logically and take responsibility for their actions and consequences. In essence, chess is a game that trains the individual to face challenges that they encounter in life," Ndlovu told the gathering.  He said chess can be used to develop minds in order to achieve some of the goals envisioned in Botswana's Vision 2016. He thanked teachers who have identified the importance of chess as an educational tool.
