Business opportunities Innocentia Memela – small business operator “The programme is a godsend. My family and I have listened to all the programmes, but unfortunately we listen for 30 minutes only because we must tune into our daily drama programme on another station. But what we have heard is encouraging, especially the bit about small business opportunities. No-one brings the latest Cato Manor developments like the Siyaya team.” In-depth news coverage Ndumiso Zondi – self-employed “The Siyaya team must be congratulated for their efforts – we hope they will not disappear into thin air. For me, one hour is not enough. We need more than one hour. The programmes are too short. I feel there must be more in-depth news coverage.” Lets hear local music Jerome Shusha – music fan “Cato Manor has an abundance of talent in music from maskanda to jazz. We also have recorded artists among us. Can we not give them exposure by playing their music on air? Surely we would have contributed to their development.” More sports news Sipho Memela – Cato Crest Athletics Club “The programme is excellent, but more time must be spent on sport. There is so much going on in the sporting fraternity inside Cato Manor. Four minutes will not do justice. Cato Crest listeners need to know what is happening in other areas of Cato Manor and vice-versa.” Sunday broadcast Milton Gcwensa “The broadcast should be on Sunday during lunch time when everyone is at home. There are important messages for everyone. The CMDA has done an excellent job in trying to disseminate information to all residents.”
