The post Herman Mashaba’s Powerful Story, “Black Like You” Comes To Radio and YouTube appeared first on ActionSA.

ActionSA President and Mayoral Candidate, Herman Mashaba, is proud to announce that his acclaimed book, Black Like You, has found a new life through an audiobook that is narrated by Ayanda Allie.

The audiobook offers audiences an opportunity to experience Mashaba’s personal journey, reflections, challenges and perspectives through the power of storytelling and voice.

This project was conceived with our youth in mind who are facing significant challenges in our society. These include high unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, and a lack of quality education in the majority of public schools across the country.

The audiobook is intended to inspire young people to understand that their challenges and circumstances do not define them or determine their destiny. President Mashaba’s life is a story of an ordinary man who defied the odds placed against him and built a life through determination, resilience and hard work.

From Monday to Thursday, between 19:30 and 19:45, listeners will be able to hear Black Like You on a network of community radio stations across Gauteng and Limpopo:

  • Letaba FM
  • VMC Planet Radio
  • Alex FM
  • Sosha FM
  • Mams FM
  • Pheli FM
  • Sedibeng FM
  • Cosmo FM
  • EK FM
  • Westside FM
  • Kofifi FM
  • Thetha FM
  • Moretele FM

The project will also extend to digital audiences, with interviews of each chapter airing on YouTube every Wednesday at 19:00.

The combination of radio and digital platforms is designed to make Black Like You accessible to a broad audience, bringing the story directly to communities through an engaging audio-visual experience.

  1. Fun South African Fact: Vilakazi Street in Soweto has been home to two Nobel Peace Prize winners. A tour through Soweto will always stop at Vilakazi Street to reveal a number of heritage sites of great importance to democratic South Africa. Both Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu lived here at some point in their lives. In 1984, Archbishop Desmond Tutu received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition for his non-violent fight against the apartheid regime. Nine years later in 1993, Nelson Mandela shared the Nobel Peace Prize with then-president F.W. de Klerk as an award for their role in bringing about the peaceful end of apartheid. Nelson Mandela then went on to become South Africa’s first democratically elected president in 1994.
