Local Radio meets Local Council

The Marketing Department of Radio Khwezi had a very fruitful meeting in Ladysmith with the mayor of UTHUKELA DISTRICT COUNCIL together with the mayor of EMNAMBITI MUNICIPAL COUNCIL.

The aim of the meeting was to discuss ways around forming a partnership together in creating a mechanism through radio where councils can reach their people at a grassroot level.

We will be looking at allocating slots whereby information can be passed on through phone-in programs, current affairs and panel discussions. This would at a later stage lead to a platform for listeners to call in and address specific issues or projects relating to their own community.

It was encouraging to note that both mayors are loyal Khwezi listeners and assured us that Radio Khwezi is well received in their areas.
