Primary school learners in Soweto gain coding skills
Story 1
Learners at Hlakaniphani Primary School in Soweto are gaining digital, coding and problem-solving skills through a new coding and robotics club launched last week.
The club teaches children aged seven to 12 while training teachers to deliver lessons using iPads and Apple’s Everyone Can Code curriculum.
The, by Panarottis and iSchoolAfrica, programme helps learners develop logical thinking, collaboration, and an early understanding of how technology can solve real-world problems.
The school's principal, Shonisani Nengwekhulu, says the learners are excited, motivated and eager to learn, with many experiencing technology in this way, for the first time.

Eastern Cape cyclists take on 1,000km ride for charity
Story 2
Three Eastern Cape cyclists have begun a 1,000km ride to raise funds for school uniforms and shoes for learners identified by local schools.
Antony Wannell, Blessing Kambikiri and Anrico Quiens set off on 15 February and are cycling through towns including Hogsback, Katberg, Bedford, Adelaide, Makhanda and Kenton-on-Sea.
The initiative grew from Amariders’ work introducing cycling programmes at schools where learners lack basic attire.
By the end of the first week, the team will have covered about 500km, with Quiens aiming to complete the full 1,000km by the end of February.
