Kubung Primary School sits in the Northwest District of Botswana, close to MMG's Khoemacau copper mine.
Established in 2013 with support from the Chinese Embassy, the school has long been a vital part of the local community. When MMG acquired the Khoemacau operation in 2024, the team provided assistance with much-needed maintenance work at the school.
Last week, following a comprehensive refurbishment, the upgraded facility was officially handed back to the community. All 13 classrooms were revitalised, featuring new flooring, repaired roofs, functional air conditioning, and properly fitted doors. The kitchen, computer lab, teachers’ offices, and toilets were also fully restored.
The handover was officiated by China's Ambassador to Botswana, Mr. Fan Yong, with MMG Khoemacau's Director of Operations Xia Weiquan attending on behalf of the team.
For the students of Kubung Primary, the improvements provide a more comfortable learning environment. For MMG Khoemacau, the project reflects a commitment to making meaningful contributions to its neighbouring communities.
