Rest in peace, Maria. Your legacy will live on. 🕊️

The webinar gives students a chance to step into the world of Pendoring. In this one-hour online session on 13 May at 12:00pm, a guest speaker from @thisismachine alongside the iPendoring team, will bring this year's campaign to life, showing how to craft work that's authentic!

Calling all students with ideas that live in your home language, this is your chance to start shaping them into work that stands out 😌 📍Google Meet: meet.google.com/ohc-imgp-dgm?u… #iPendoring2026

We're looking for ideas that cut through — work that connects, surprises, and leads. If yours is culturally rooted, boundary-pushing, and impossible to ignore, it belongs here. 🔗 Submit your entry here pendoring.co.za and show us what you've got 😉

In South Africa, language isn't just how we speak — it's how we see the world. When those voices are missing, the work loses depth, relevance and truth. Entries for the 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ iPendoring Awards are now open🎉 #iPendoring2026

At iPendoring, we celebrate and support the languages that carry our stories, because true #freedom means no one is left out of the conversation. Happy Freedom Day 🇿🇦

Freedom means being able to speak, create and be understood in your own language. Today, we reflect on how far we've come and how far we still need to go. Mzansi's strength lies in its languages — not just as #heritage but as living ways of thinking, expressing and connecting.

We're always looking to champion young voices in fun and creative ways, such as the Mzansi Sounds Better in Your Language iPendoring Radio Challenge, giving students the space show just how bold and authentically South African their ideas can be.

South Africa's strength is its #diversity ! Twelve official languages, countless voices, and a creativity that only grows when every story is heard. Fostering dialogue with young people is essential. 🇿🇦

Because everyone should be able to say what they want, the way they want. And honestly? It makes the work way more interesting. #iPendoring #MultilingualSA #SpeakYourWay

30 years into democracy and… English still dominates even this one! iPendoring endeavours to always celebrate creativity in all South Africa's indigenous languages, giving voices the space they deserve and reminding the communications world that one size does not fit all.

Thank you to every student who shared a story and poured their heart into words. Judges are deep in review, and the discussions are lively. Winners will be announced soon! South African storytelling has a bright future! #iPendoring #StudentVoices #IndigenousLanguages

One thing’s clear: South African creativity keeps multiplying. And iPendoring will keep backing it. Explore the winners: pendoring.co.za #TaalNeverDieWeMultiply #iPendoring25 #LongLiveTheTaal #SayItInYourLanguage #MzansiVoices #QwelaYourWork
