Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Takalani Sesame ("Takalani" means "Be Happy" in Venda) is the South African version of the children's television program Sesame Street, premiering in 2000 and co-produced by Sesame Workshop and South African partners.According to Sesame Workshop, Takalani Sesame is a "uniquely South African interpretation of the Sesame model, engaging children and their parents and promoting basic school readiness, literacy, numeracy, and health and hygiene." The series also has a special focus on HIV/AIDS awareness and seeks to introduce HIV/AIDS safety while promoting tolerance and reducing stigma.Like other international versions of the show, Takalani also features dubbed scenes from the American version that only feature Muppet characters, in addition to its own original material. Since some people in South Africa do not have access to televison, Takalani is also broadcast as a radio show. Both versions of the show incorporate all of South Africa's 11 national languages in its curriculum,note Afrikaans, English, Zulu, Xhosa, Swazi, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Tsonga, Tswana and Venda and is aired in 5 of them, with the same episode in different languages on different weekdaysnote English on Mondays, Zulu on Tuesdays, Southern Sotho on Wednesdays, Ndebele on Thursdays and Afrikaans on Fridays.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Moral Guardians | |
| Takalani Sesame / int_96e5792c | comment |
Kami, a cheerful, wise and energetic girl who just so happens to be HIV-positive. The creation of her character was intended to reduce stigma concerning the disease, in a country where an estimated 19% of South Africa's population aged 15–49 have HIV/AIDS. Kami's purpose, however, was widely misreported by American right-wing politicians and Moral Guardians, who believed that the character was intended for the American version of the show. Despite this, Kami remains one of the show's most popular characters. | |

Show Within a Show: Some episodes feature truncated episodes of Elmo's World, dubbed over by Elmo's South African Muppet performer and some South African kids. Certain segments of Elmo's World, such as those featuring the Noodle family, are typically edited out. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Takalani Sesame / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Elmo was formerly named Neno on Takalani. It was changed in preparation for the series' 20th anniversary in 2020, and to bring the name of the character in line with the US series and other international co-productions. In Sesame Square, a fellow African co-production based in Nigeria, Kami and Zikwe are main characters, although the latter is renamed to Zobi. | |
