BP South Africa’s has awarded 32 bursaries to frontline staff members, as part of its service champions initiative.
The oldest recipient is 41 year old Mpendulo Tibane, said “the Impumelelo Bursary is an incredible opportunity for us to grow, to dream bigger and to empower ourselves through education. I hope every service champion will grab this chance with both hands. Today, I may be filling up your tank, but tomorrow I could be the Head of IT at a multinational company. I’m a breadwinner, a parent and now, thanks to BPSA, my future is full of possibility.”
Taelo Mojapelo, CEO of BP, said the service champions are chosen regardless of their background and their age.
“At BPSA, we see education not just as a pathway to economic development, but as a way to break cycles of limitation for those working hard to support their families. The Impumelelo Bursary Programme is our way of saying, your dreams matter, and we are here to help you achieve them.”
