The event aimed to foster a love for reading among learners from schools in Gugulethu, Lentegeur, Mfuleni and Goodwood.

The learners were treated to a guided tour of the museum and storytelling sessions led by various readers, including Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis.

WRAD is observed annually to promote literacy, storytelling and a culture of reading.

The global campaign encourages individuals, families, schools and communities to read aloud together and celebrate the transformative power of stories.

The event was organised by Nal’ibali, with support from City libraries and the Iziko Museum. Nal’ibali is a national campaign that encourages children to develop a love for reading through storytelling.
