Free reading material available in all 11 SA languages

RESEARCH shows that children who start reading in their mother tongue have a much better understanding of what they are reading than those who start reading in a foreign language.

To give South African children this advantage – and achieve the National Development Plan to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality by 2030 – the SA Post Office is working with NPO Nal’ibali to provide reading material in the 11 official languages.
