“We did a call for entries in April, interviewed and selected the crème of the crop to takeover our airwaves on 16 June. A total of twenty high school pupils commenced their training in May and will attend these training sessions twice per week in the lead up to Youth Day”, says Programme Manager of Algoa FM, Baydu Adams.
Eleven pupils will co-present with the Daron Mann Breakfast Show, Lance Du Plessis, Mio and Queenie, Wayne Hart and Lauren Mungur, Gordon Graham and Jacques Arendt. Two pupils will serve as newsreaders, four as producers, and one as a sound engineer. Each show will have its own producer.
