Woza Africa #32: Christmas Special 24

Wed 25th Dec '24, 3:00pm

Christmas special on Woza Africa with Xolani and Nobuhle.

I’m looking forward to engaging with my first coaching session and following up on the intellectual and conceptual leads that have been presented to me in Seacroft…

I signed up on Open Day. I’d never done anything like it before but I got hooked to radio. It’s been the best year of my life. I’ve met so many brilliant people and it’s changed my idea of what I want to do in my life. I do everything I can at Chapel FM.

I felt like I could win the lottery.
