Spinning up a storm

The guys of SPINNERKOP (spin‧ne‧kop) – Weaving the Webs of Social Change came by Bush Radio to gift the station a rug.

Spinnerkop based in Kensington are focused on creating employment, marketing and networking opportunities for at risk communities, particularly women of colour who are survivors of or vulnerable to being exposed to gender based violence.

Lucinda Classen, Haafezah Awaldien and co-founder Zahier Davids presented the rug with the Bush Radio to staff and trainees at the station.

Why? Because we have to #16days

The first 7 days of our outside broadcast marathon for 16 Day of Activism is complete but it wasn’t without hitches. First our only outside broadcast laptop crashed – a day before our campaign started – but thanks to CapeTown Tweeple who retweeted our call for help, Professor Johannes Cronje from CPUT donated his laptop.

Then one of our venues in Hanover Park had no functioning telephone line but the Auntie across the road stepped in and let us use her telephone line!

Unfortunately, our appeals and proposals to national, local government and corporates for support have gone unheeded.

If you would like to support this or any Bush Radio project; through advertising, sponsorship or donations; please contact Brenda Leonard on 021 448 5450 or brenda@bushradio.co.za
