SWAZILAND: Radio powered by children
MBABANE: People are calling Swaziland's first children's radio programme "Ses'khona", which literally means, "we're here", but in the SiSwati language it implies the arrival of a group that intends to stay and be heard.
Beginning in February, Swazi children will be able to tune in to hear their contemporaries report the news, entertain them and discuss issues that matter to pre-adult listeners.
"This is peer-to-peer communications in its purest form. We were looking to support meaningful child participation in programmes involving children," said Nonhlanhla Hleta-Nkambule, communications officer at the Swaziland office of the UN Children's Fund, UNICEF.
