Help With Some Contacts for Radio Programme


Some of you might be aware of a radio programme on Trans World Radio in Malawi called AMalawi Kunja kwa Malawi which I am responsible for. I need your help with people you would recommend to take part in this weekly programme.

In Chichewa, and fifteen minutes long, it is a platform to let Malawians in Diasporas share with listeners in Malawi something about their lives, their work, studies, stay and the countries they are living in. Malawians abroad are interviewed to share personal experiences as well official positions on issues that affect them where they are and at home. I believe that in a small way this programme provides an opportunity for information sharing. I am aware that some brethren on this forum have taken part before.

Having run for a year already, Malawians featured have included students, musicians, business persons, lawyers, nurses, development consultants, ICT Specialists, accountants, medical doctor, missionaries, professors, engineers, home executives, etc based in various countries on all the continents.

I am at this point interested in additional people who can be willing to appear in the programme. They key thing is they have to be Malawian in the diaspora and feel free to offer yourself too if you are in the diaspora. Since there is generally a good number of Malawians in UK, South Africa and US, I would place priority on featuring those outside these three countries.

Please do write me a personal email on victorkaonga@gmail.com with your contacts copied to radio@twrmw.org.

Thank you for reading and considering my request.
