Takalani Sesame, a South African version of the internationally acclaimed Sesame Street, talks to children between the ages of four and eight. It’s a truly South African television, radio, digital and community outreach programme, which supports the foundation phase of our national primary school curriculum. Sanlam is a proud sponsor of this initiative, which promotes literacy, numeracy, basic life skills and HIV/Aids education, incorporating all of South Africa’s 11 official languages.
