MOBIREADATHON COMPETITION STARTS FEBRUARY 10TH

Dear High School Learners.
Our Mobireadathon competition starts February 10th and until April 25th.
 We encourage all learners,  from all provinces to participate in the 2025 Mobireadathon Competition. 

This year we are also piloting Mobireadathon in LOCAL LANGUAGES for 8  provinces focusing on the most spoken languages in each province.  Local Languages features: Afrikaans, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, SeSwati, Xhosa, and Zulu. GAUTENG LEARNERS will only do ENGLISH language 

On April 26th we will announce the top-performing schools that had the highest number of participants within provinces. We will select top performing Grade 8 learners from each school. These finalists will download and read more stories for the finals that will be held from June onwards. We encourage librarians, teachers, and parents to start mobilizing learners and inform them about this exciting digital reading competition.
