  • Young people are proving that literacy is everyone’s responsibility.

Last week, we joined Re Bua Puo Pha at the Sedibeng Sa Mafoko Read Aloud Indigenous Programme in Zone 12, Sebokeng. The day brought together young people through storytelling, debates, mother tongue spelling bees and book reviews, all celebrating the power of reading in our own languages.

“It was inspiring to see so many young people leading the conversation on literacy and taking an active role in preserving indigenous languages,” said Sithembiso Nhlapo, our Gauteng Provincial Coordinator.

When youth become literacy champions, they inspire a new generation of readers and storytellers while helping to build stronger, more literate communities.
