Turning The Page: A deep dive into the state of reading in SA

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special

Despite the power of reading to unlock knowledge and opportunity, SA continues to face a national literacy crisis. A team of journalists from Sowetan, The Herald and Daily Dispatch will dive into the challenges behind the statistics through a series titled "Turning the Page". The project was made possible by the Henry Nxumalo Foundation. #TurningThePage #LiteracyCrisisSA #Literacy Video: @Sinazo Magaba Kos #school #news #southafrica #sanews #southafricatiktok #fyp #trendingvideo #currentaffairs #southafricanews
