In partnership with Kagiso TV, PASSOP has launched an anti-xenophobia talk-show series on four different community radio stations that will air between February 21st and March 15th. The talk-show series, funded by the Open Society Foundation, will convey messages such as respect for human rights, the rights and responsibilities of foreigners, and the fight for equality. It aims to draw inspiration from the heroic struggle of the people of South Africa against the system of Apartheid, including the pivotal role that the international community, in particular the governments and people of Africa, played in this. The talk show is also guided by the present day struggle for equality, justice, development, the rule of law and respect for human rights. It is based on the premise that only together are we able to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.
There will be four episodes, each covering a different theme. On each show PASSOP activist and staff member Lucky Katenhe will partner up with a local South African community leader to guide the debate and answer phone calls from the public.
The talk shows will be on the below community radio stations on the following days and times. We encourage you to tune in and listen!
