Making Reading Fun

Join the Nelson Mandela Foundation on the third Saturday of every month for our Making Reading Fun programme, aimed at children up to the age of 15.

The Foundation is open from 9am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, and children and parents who attend Making Reading Fun (running throughout the day) can also view the permanent exhibition on Nelson Mandela’s life and times and a variety of temporary exhibitions. Please make an appointment here so that we can be ready to welcome you.

Making Reading Fun was launched on 15 April 2023 to encourage reading and literacy among South Africa’s children, and to impart knowledge of Mandela’s extraordinary life story, and his values, which are celebrated worldwide.
