YALF, SACRO co-hosts Talk Show about Crime on SBIS (Swaziland)

Under the leadership of the scrupulous Zethu Matsebula, YALF Swaziland co-hosts a radio program in collaboration with Swaziland Association for Crime prevention and the Rehabilitation of Offenders (SACRO) – a local NGO with a mandate to help young people stay away from crime through different empowerment, educative programmes; such as the radio show. The program, which airs weekly on the National Swaziland Broadcast and Information Services (SBIS 1) on Wednesdays 07:35 GMT, is focused on unleashing youth issues within the country Swaziland. The aim is to engage Swazi youth in discussions revolving around social, economic and political issues, which affects the Swazi young person. It also looks into possible solutions to the many challenges encountered by young people in the country.

Since its commencement on the 9th of January 2017, the show has, so far, engaged youth in topics such as; youth and education, young women and gender equality as well as youth and sexual reproductive health and rights. Each topic is broken to a series of sub-topics which are discussed on air weekly by the YALF’s Zethu Matsebula, Neliso Mazibuko, and SACRO’s Psycho Social Worker, Sihle Hadebe. The trio invites young people from different spheres as necessary to youth dialogues, which seek to hear views from young people on how some of the issues can be tackled and to share experiences.
