Zip Zap Circus is a vibrant, uniquely South African social and professional circus that was founded in

Cape Town in 1992. Through circus arts we inspire and empower young people from all walks of life

to pursue their dreams. We promote social cohesion, create opportunities, unlock potential and

transfer skills for life.

Working with a diverse community of children from all backgrounds, we help kids dare to dream and

make those dreams a reality. Zip Zap programmes are all free to participants, with financial and

material support coming from individuals, organisation, corporations, and foundations.

In South Africa and the world, Zip Zap Circus is recognised across Governments, Ministries of

Education, Tourism, Arts & Culture, and private societies, as a major contributor to development

within the iconic Mother City and the sustainability of the circus arts in South Africa.
