Bush Radio will be celebrating June 16 with the youth and community of Delft.
As a build up to the June 16 celebration Bush Radio and its partners will facilitate a debate (15 June 2017 – broadcast on 89.5fm/www.bushradio.co.za) between learners from 7 schools on the topic: The use of social media amongst youth; Does social media have a positive or negative impact on youth?
On the 16th June, members of the community are invited to join us (for free) as we witness creative performances ranging from music by The Assasins, Lee Enigma, Dapzito, Larnelle, and poetry by members of the spoken word movement, Lingua Franca to drama from members of a Cesvi Foundation project.
The majority of the Bush Radio team have to rely on public transport to get to work and home. As most of us live on the Cape Flats taking this mode of transport can be scary at the best of times. Mkhuseli Veto was trekking home when he captured the following footage.
The2017 Naked Word poetry and spoken word festival will take place from 8 to 11 June at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective in Observatory, Cape Town. The Naked Word festival attracts the attendance of poets and audience from all over the country.
The theme for this second annual Naked Word Festival is “I Speak of My Inherit-Age”. History has displaced many South Africans, culturally and physically. We want to place ourselves culturally, but that demands a re-shape of our understanding of ‘culture’. We are acknowledging that many stories and histories dissipated during colonisation and the new South African dispensation. We are redefining culture as generational, and we are employing live poetry, music and dialogue to do this”.
The Festival is funded by Western Cape Government, Department of the Premier. Other sponsors and partners include Bush Radio, Grounding Sessions, Theatre Arts admin Collective and The Radioactive Blog.
The video above features an amended extract from the, “I am an African” speech by Thabo Mbeki at the adoption of the RSA Constitution Bill, 8 May 1996.
Bush Radio staff and trainees recorded and edited it to celebrate Africa Day (25 May).

“A critical, independent and investigative press is the lifeblood of any democracy. The press must be free from state interference. It must have the economic strength to stand up to the blandishments of government officials. It must have sufficient independence from vested interests to be bold and inquiring without fear or favour. It must enjoy the protection of the constitution, so that it can protect our rights as citizens.” – Nelson Mandela on freedom of expression, at the International Press Institute congress (14 February 1994)
