South Africa’s much loved Muppets from Takalani Sesame will be part of the official FIFA World Cup launch parade in Cape Town.
The parade starts at the City Hall on the 10th June at 18h00 and will continue for approximately three hours. The fan fest which includes local and international celebrities will progress up Adderley Street and ends in the Grand Parade area.
Over the past decade, the award-winning Takalani Sesame has provided South Africa’s children with educational, fun, entertaining and quality programming on SABC television channels and radio stations. Muppets Kami, Zikwe, Moshe, Zuzu and Neno are overwhelmed to receive acknowledgement at the World Cup 2010 parade.

Takalani, which means ‘be happy’ in TshiVenda, conveys the spirit of happiness and innocence. Takalani Sesame is brought to the children of South Africa through a partnership between SABC Education and Sanlam.

Hi Anonymous
In line with guidelines issued by the Department of Basic Education (recommending that children under 9 years learn in their mother-tongue); SABC Children produces ECD (Early Childhood Development) programming in all of South Africa’s official languages.
English-speaking children (less than 10% of the population) have a distinct advantage in that around 25% of local Children’s programming for younger children is in English. In addition to this all of the International programming for this age-group is in English.
For older children, (while SABC Children continues to make programming in all South African languages); English dominates to an even greater percentage.
