World Radio Day

February 13 was World Radio Day, which celebrates radio as a way of educating people, providing information, and promoting freedom of expression across cultures. Each year the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) celebrates World Radio Day by planning activities with broadcasters, organizations and communities around the world. This year their theme is “Radio in times of emergency and disaster”. Radio has played a significant role in terms of emergency and disaster. In keeping with the our Channel Africa 50 year celebration we are joined by our very own senior reporters who have been covering a number of war zones and emergency situations; Ephraim “Bra Charlie” Khumalo and Jenine Coetzer.
