by Anthony FalcoToday we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of South Africa’s highest-flying charitable programs.South Africa’s Zip Zap Circus School is celebrating a milestone year of inspiring the young and underprivileged to juggle and fly…all for free.1,500 students participate in the school every year with programs like “dare to dream” — which teaches students everything from performing to behind the scenes stagecraft.For students like Aviwe Shaun Mfundisi, joining a circus has been a long-time goal, “For me like circus has been like my dream ever since I was young, growing up in the streets of Khayelitsha or doing acrobatics in the streets and all that, but now I’m actually living the dream,” he said.The troupe has also taken 27 trips abroad, bringing new opportunities and broadening horizons for the amazing students.Here’s to another 25 years of zipping and zapping.
