Welcome to the Zip Zap Circus

“It was such a rich experience being immersed in the Zip Zap way. I became aware of the immense coordination, organization and efficacy required to attain the objectives of the organisation. I learnt new teaching methodologies.  I was amazed at the potential and strength of the participants that have the chance to empower themselves and in turn have a positive an impact on their families and communities.”

“We did not expect Zip Zap to continue teaching during lockdown. To my surprise we received personal calls, regular feedback, communication, and videos to keep my 11-year old daughter engaged and connected. My daughter was able to feel less lonely and see her peers through videos they all shared.”

“Zip Zap not only teaches us circus skills, but it also teaches us self-respect and how to respect other people.”

“Zip Zap helped me a lot with not being afraid, it helped with my shyness. It has given me a dream to live for, a purpose for the future. It has given me friends and a bigger family.”

“Zip Zap remote teaching during Covid19 lockdown supported us to cope with the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of my child. I am so grateful to all the staff who work tirelessly and put their heart and soul into delivering a program in this anxiety-filled climate and ensuring they over delivered on their mission statement.” 

“We were blown away with the effort and skill of the youngsters!”

“I salute your vision and tenacity over the years. You believe in your dream and have overcome so many obstacles. You have continued where so many others would have thrown in the towel. Your new home is so impressive, but what you are doing for young people and for Cape Town and South Africa is what really knocks me out. Take a bow, you deserve a long and standing ovation.”

“Zip Zap is a home for me.  It has changed me. Therefore, through Zip Zap I believe I can also make a change to the next generation. All the youngsters at Zip Zap are my brothers and sisters, that’s why Zip Zap is a home for me.”

“We received personal phone calls, individual feedback, constant communication and appropriate videos to keep my daughter engaged and connected during Covid19 lockdown. My daughter was able to feel less lonely and see her peers through videos they all shared.” 

“We at Cirque du Soleil salute Zip Zap’s remarkable social involvement and community commitment. Zip Zap is living proof that actions speak louder than words and that the sky is the limit. May your activities continue to inspire.”
