Musina FM hosted their year-end function this past December, giving 33 of their radio presenters certificates of competency.
The station manager, Mr Justice Langa, said the certificates had been awarded to show their appreciation for the good work the presenters had done since the radio station reopened last year and motivate them to keep it up.
"To encourage our presenters, I will be introducing the Presenter of the Week or Month award, where the winner will receive a food or a clothing voucher," said Langa, further promising that the station will be conducting regular roadshows throughout its broadcasting area.
Local stakeholders such as the Musina Disability Forum, the Musina Council of Churches, Musina Legal Services and others were also presented with certificates. "We believe that stakeholders play an important role in our broadcasting area. The certificates were also to encourage our stakeholders to keep working with the Musina community," said Langa.
The stakeholders have a slot on radio programmes where they teach or alert Musina residents about their rights, what organisation to join when one is physically handicapped, and many other important matters.
Langa said they planned on expanding Musina FM's coverage area this year by including part of the Madimbo, Malale, Masisi and Tshipise areas.
