Takalani Sesame Muppets are Out and About in South Africa!

Parents and Kiddies take note: The muppets from Takalani Sesame (the local version of Sesame Street) will be doing a nationwide visit this October and November in celebration of its 10 year partnership with SABC broadcasters. Takalani Sesame is a television series that creatively engages children and parents in developing basic school readiness in skills such as literacy, numeracy, health and hygiene.

You can purchase the Takalani Sesame-related children’s book, Out and About, at the David Krut Publishing bookstore.

South Africa’s much-loved Takalani Sesame muppets are celebrating 10 years of a successful partnership between SABC Education and Sanlam, which has sponsored Takalani Sesame since the first broadcast in 2000. Takalani Sesame is a fun, innovative programme that allows children to celebrate their childhood through learning, loving, playing, laughing and dreaming.
