Nal’ibali (isiXhosa for “here’s the story”) is a national reading-for-enjoyment campaign. Nal’ibali seeks to spark and embed a culture of reading across South Africa, so that reading, writing, and sharing stories in all South African languages is part of everyday life. Nal’ibali has worked with state, civil society and business partners to make sure every South African child has opportunities to fall in love with books and stories. This includes founding partners DGMT, PRAESA (the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa) and Tiso Blackstar (formerly Times Media). Through advocacy, training, and high-quality reading material, Nal’ibali is helping to nurture a reading nation.
