From Wednesday, December 15, 2021, viewers of Boomerang Africa will have the opportunity to watch another instalment of My African Stories.
The last series of the show recorded more than 150,000 online views and it allowed kids and their families to learn about different cultures across Africa and experience the excitement of creating fun arts and crafts, replicating the remarkable local stories told from a child’s perspective.
In the forthcoming series, viewers will discover how four children share their passion for music, sports, important causes and culture with Boomerang fans across the continent.
The first stop to Mzansi is in the bustling city of Johannesburg, where Oratilwe (DJ Arch Jnr) participants through his love of music and how he makes moves being a DJ.
Through this, viewers can learn about his passion, what it takes to mix music, dive in on his talent and get a sense of the musical heritage in this electric city and for the budding DJs out there, they can join DJ Arch by making their own DIY headphones and microphone.
The show will also take a look into sunny Mauritius with an episode that dives into a cultural holiday celebrated by millions worldwide: Diwali, the festival of lights.
Mihira guides viewers through the colourful traditions, delicious foods, decorations, clothing and how they end the night with a beautiful fireworks display. She’ll wrap up her tour with a DIY lantern and clay lamp for all Boomerang families to make!
The jet will also make a stop in the vibrant city of Lagos in Nigeria, where Tomiwa will show how he plans to protect the planet and encourage his peers to do the same.
His passion for the cause shines through as he helps clean up the beaches in Lagos and learn the importance of fighting plastic pollution and how he rallies the support of other kids to get the job done.
The trip will berth in Lusaka, Zambia, which is home to Agatha who is obsessive about Kyokushin Karate, a new craze in the country – with good reason!
Agatha shows Boomerang fans how amazing her sport is, from her dojo to the uniform to practising the moves. She will share what it takes to be a champion.
