SA youth broadcasting live from Soweto
'World Have Your Say', the BBC interactive radio and online radio programme broadcast by BBC World service, is teaming up with local South African youth station YFM for a special live broadcast from the heart of Soweto on Monday, 22 May 2006, at 8pm local time (6pm GMT and 7pm BST). BBC presenter Ros Atkins will host the hour-long debate with YFM presenter Leslie 'Lee' Kasumba.
Says Atkins, "We are excited to be broadcasting live from the heart of Soweto with Y FM. Young people are the future of Africa and we want to give them an opportunity to debate the topics most important to them and bring their voices to a global audience. We also want listeners, especially young people across the world to text, email and phone us and use the BBC to talk with each other and be a part of this global dialogue."
Bondo Ntuli, YFM's programme manager, comments, "Our listeners expect us to create platforms allowing them to engage with other young people on issues that interest and concern them. Partnering on this special broadcast with a world class station such as the BBC World Service proves that we are listening and responding to them."
