South Africa is lagging behind in terms of women who own and dominate the media space meaningfully. There is a need in our country to address issues that affect women - across all facets of life - and address them from a woman’s perspective. There is a need to dominate and own space in the business and economic sectors of our country and for our voice to be heard. Thus, a new dawn has come…. Our society needs Well Organised Man to run its issues, voice its opinions and speak in one voice - hence the radio station WOMan Radio.
The station WOMan radio is about sharing, discussing, airing our voice and opinions about issues that are often avoided, overlooked, shelved and deemed not important, especially by those men who find it difficult to discuss such issues in the public discourse. We need to continually educate men, especially the young ones on how to interact with women at all levels and women of all ages - we start them young and we start now.
This will be over and above current business, economic and social issues that will be handled and discussed daily on the various programmes. The presenters will be from all spheres of the social strata… there will be a domestic workers programme slot, presented by a domestic worker who’ll tackle domestic workers issues that are never discussed; we’ll also have the LGBT and GBV programmes to educate the public. Other programmes will bring together the different types of youth across the country from difference demo and socio-graphics, to bridge a gap and create understanding and tolerance amongst various youths from affluent and rural areas in discussing issues that are taboo to our society.
WOMan radio is run by females only from the receptionist, technicians, presenters, content producers to all managerial positions.
