Tell your story to Tafta

SCHOOLS, youth and community elders are encouraged to enter the #TaftaTellMyStory competition before the submission deadline of 20 September 2019.

The annual competition hosted by Tafta is this year open to youth and school learners, as well as elders.

Its aim is to reawaken the love of story-telling and reading in the community.

“It is hoped this will help to bridge inter-generational gaps and promote conversations between the young and old,” said Tafta CEO Femada Shamam.

“We piloted the competition at a school level last year and were thrilled at the level of support received; so this year, we’re going bigger and better with the competition inviting learners, youth and community elders to participate,” said Tafta’s head of marketing, income development and public relations, Gail Samuels.

Last year, Chloe du Plessis won first place in the Grade 4-7 multimedia category.
