TUT FM  Network.

SS: What makes your show different from other shows in TUT FM?

In my show there is a feature called Bua sechaba.  People call in to express what they like and what changes they want in their society. Another thing that stands best in this show is that we also bring solutions to the challenges that our society is facing.

SS: What is the best part of the show you enjoy the most and why?

I always enjoy Tuesdays show. I always go to the studio telling myself that I am there to learn. We discuss issues around education and I have passion for education.

Since you have brought the issue of education, what is your view about the education system in South Africa?

I think the education system in our country has a problem and that problem does not lie in the government but in the hands of all those involved, parents and learners. Teachers don’t want to adapt to changes. Technology has come with full force to dominate our horizon. Teachers must adapt to the technological advancement.

SS: Who do you normally invite in your show and why?

I invite different people from inside and outside our campuses. Mr. Maremo is our education analyst. I believe he has so much to offer and that he helps when it comes to finding students bursaries. On Wednesdays show different political structures, parliament and the SRC come to discuss and bring solutions to the matters that are affecting TUT students.
