The Tide is Turning...

In September 2018, 50 top artists came together to record their own version of Johnny Clegg’s iconic song “The Crossing” as a tribute to his legacy and to raise funds to fight the education crisis in South Africa.

Over 4,000 Futures Adopted

Friends of Johnny Clegg have taken the proceeds from the song sales, donations and YouTube and given it to what they believe is South Africa’s best chance at addressing this crisis – The Click Foundation.

The Click Foundation implements a digital English literacy programme in underprivileged primary schools across South Africa. The programme offers young learners the opportunity to work at their own pace through fun and enjoyable activities that teach them to read, thus equipping them with both the literacy and technological skills required for any chance at future success.

The Click Foundation already helps over 70,000 children, of which over 4,000 futures have been adopted by Friends of Johnny Clegg.

The ultimate goal is to change the lives of 1 million children by 2024 and help build a brighter future for our great country.

A Tribute to Johnny Clegg

Johnny Clegg represented all that is great about South Africa. He embodied the fighting spirit and vision required to transcend into a better future for all. Leading from the front, he has shown how social barriers and prejudices can be broken with his music and in doing so, has instilled an awareness of other cultures while truly creating a meaningful change.
