Takalani Sesame

A distinctly South African television, radio and community outreach program, Takalani Sesame has been designed to support the reception year of South Africa's national primary school curriculum.

Promoting languages, literacy, numeracy, life skills, and health, the project endeavors to incorporate all of South Africa's 11 national languages (Africkaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa,isiZulu, Sesotho saLeboa, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda and Xitsonga).

Additionally, Takalani Sesame has historically maintained a special focus on HIV/AIDS education by introducing age-appropriate messages designed to counter stigma and break the culture silence around the disease.
