Afrika Tikkun celebrated its talent day at DP World Wanderers Stadium
Afrika Tikkun’s talent day began 12 years ago.
Smiles, cheers, and jubilation filled the DP World Wanderers Stadium on July 26 during Afrika Tikkun’s talent day.
The talent day is a chance for 3 000 children from different Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres around Gauteng to come together to show their talents.
Afrika Tikkun is a South African non-profit organisation transforming the lives of children and youth from cradle to career.

The talent day was made up of sporting activities, including netball, soccer, running, and dance competitions.
Afrika Tikkun’s CEO, Marc Lubner, explained that although there were prizes for winners, every single child present would receive a prize.

“The Talent Day Initiative started approximately 12 years ago; we were a much smaller organisation. We’ve got a new group that’s here today from Marikana, which is part of our latest outreach programme.”
Lubner added that the NPO has begun to engage with children with disabilities in an inclusion programme.
“So rather than keeping the disabled children separate, we involve the children in mainstream.”
