Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Nedbank Lesotho yesterday donated M56 000 to the Royal Education Development Trust Fund in celebration of His Majesty King Letsie\u2019s 56th birthday. Speaking at the handover ceremony, Nedbank\u2019s Managing Director Nkau Matete said the donation is a trend which the bank started when the King turned 51.
\nThe donation is a birthday present and a token of appreciation for the good work that the King does of putting needy students in school, he said. Matete said he wishes the Trust Fund would grow and continue to touch many more lives, emphasising that there is nothing more important than education because through it people make a living.
\nHe therefore said he hopes a few students will benefit from the donation so that their lives could be changed for the better. In his speech, King Letsie thanked Nedbank Lesotho for the noble gesture of acknowledging his birthday adding the bank has been doing that for several years now.
\nHis Majesty also expressed his gratitude to Matete for not departing from the norm after assuming the position to manage the bank. King Letsie III congratulated students who are going to benefit from the life-changing gift and further emphasised that education is a vital tool and a key to success. The Royal Education Development Trust Fund, according to King Letsie III, is there to change lives for the better.<\/p>\n
