Is it disrespectful for whites to wear traditional African clothing?
In light of #HeritageDay today (Sunday 24th September), a number of South Africans have been wearing their traditional African clothing. It then came to my attention, after scrolling through Twitter, that a group of white males were wearing what looked like traditional Zulu attire.

Nigerian star on the radio
Nigerian Hip Hop Artist Superstar Ace was a star live in studio! He let’s us know how the music industry abroad compares with ours, who he thinks in the SA music industry is making waves, and how it was working with Anatii on his smacking new single #SummerTime.

Local is Lit
It is so ‘lekker’ to see that the local music industry has been growing and improving over every rock over the last year and a bit. Many artists have started to create a real iconic name for themself. One such musician, who I interviewed on the radio, and fortunate enough to attend his Video Remix Launch in Cape Town, was Kyle Deutsch.

Who would have thought that two years after matric, old high school mates would reunite in a radio studio for the purpose of an interview?

Listening – a skill unheard of
We all need specialized skills to adequately equip us for the workplace – wherever, or whatever, that may be. But what about [arguably] one of the most simple skills; listening?! Are we all on the hunt for the technical skills necessary to allow us to succeed, at the cost of us not listening to those around us?

One of the beautiful perks of being in the radio industry is that you get to meet inspiring individuals from completely different walks of life, with an array of ideas and purposes in life to fulfill.

Teamwork works wonders
I’ll admit, it is a cliche to say that teamwork is vital to any group, but it cannot be expressed enough. We all have that one person at the back of our mind that tends to works on our nerves from time to time. However annoying they may be, it is imperative to get along with your team – especially at a radio station.

Leave the bad attitude at home!
Imagine driving in you car with the radio on. Now picture listening to your favourite DJ. What if you could tell, by the sound of his/her voice, that they aren’t having a good day. How would that impact you?

How do you prepare for a radio show?
It is a very relevant question to ask, “how do you prepare for a radio show?” that is. The general train of thought among radio consumers (listeners) is that the radio DJ simply goes on air and says what he or she wants to say – though there is some truth to that. However, I hope to share with you the full story behind the time and effort that goes in to preparing a 3 hour radio show.

Make a difference in your community: Radio & Music coming together
Like a primary school student, nervous as hell before having to stand up in front of the class, I make my way onto the mini-amphitheater stage for my first outside radio broadcast. The butterflies were flying in many formations – none that seemed to calm the nerves, though. But the time had come; the teacher had called my name and now I had to come out from hiding behind my desk and entertain the class with that which I had prepared.

Is community radio more reliable than commercial radio in reporting local matters?
Valuable portraits belonging to the University of Cape Town (UCT) have been unlawfully removed and burned, and the responsible suspects are none other than the #RhodesMustFall movement! Imagine reading this on your social media feed – where do you plug in to hear further? Your local community station (UCT Radio)? Or do you opt for the commercialised voice (perhaps KFM)?

Online radio could compromise the listenership of ‘traditional’ radio
Radio stations around the world have taken note of the rise of popularity in Online Radio. Quite truthfully, however, first world countries are more conscious about it than third world countries because of the difference in accessibility and affordability of internet.

Radio debut: testing 1,2
Training, interviews, voice testing, job shadowing and a written test later and the time had arrived. I can still clearly remember it as though it were only the other day. My first ever on air radio shift. It was a Monday night 11:00 pm, campus was cold, dark and windy – and I had to walk from where I was dropped off all the way to the studio. It sounds like the beginning of a fiction story, but this is definitely true.
