The 2025 Johannesburg leg of the tour kicked off this month, and will run across schools throughout September and part of October, providing thousands of children, aged eight to 11, with the tools to navigate challenges in today’s fast-paced digital world.

Its focus is to empower children to embrace five everyday superpowers: kindness, resilience, safety, bravery, and self-acceptance.

Another Grade 2 learner, Thato Nthongoa (7), shared a similar sentiment: “I enjoyed the High Five show… My favourite superpower is that I am kind.”
