Midrand, Johannesburg, 23 December 2020 – Soma Solutions has officially launched a new online platform for stationery shopping called Edu-Supply. Edu-Supply is an online platform that is designed to help parents and schools across South Africa purchase their children's stationery without having to shop at multiple stores to fulfill their children’s full stationery list for school. As we enter into a new year, January is a chaotic month for parents as they prepare for back to school and stationery shopping. Hence, Edu-Supply is created to help parents shop for stationery any time, and they can do it from the comfort of their home and save money while at it, with Edu-Supply’s competitive pricing.

As a mother of four, I fully understand the frustrations that parents across South Africa face when it’s back-to-school time. We are launching this platform to solve that problem, and help save parents’ time and money."- Marilyn Radebe, founder of Soma Solutions & Edu-Supply.
