The importance of reading for pleasure
Manage episode 431625744 series 2915031
As we wrap #MandelaMonth, we touch a matter that was very close to the heart of the former President Nelson Mandela: reading. Two decades ago, the former President reflected, in a quote, his concerns surrounding why so few people read books and if it remains unaddressed - our future generations may lose our history. According to the 2023 National Reading Barometer, 63% of our households still do not have access to a single fiction or non-fiction book. Our next guest work is calling for our society to address the barriers to reading for leisure and the importance of building a new culture that is based on positive reading habits.
Guest: Masennya Dikotla - Director at Qualibooks Group
Guest: Gabrielle Kelly - Head of Research, Impact and Innovation at Nal’ibali
