Good Hope FM’s first-ever Radio Masterclass, recently held at the SABC Sea Point Auditorium, was a sold-out event that brought together aspiring broadcasters, students, and young professionals eager to dive into the world of radio.
The full-day experience offered an immersive, behind-the-scenes look at the broadcasting industry, with interactive sessions led by Good Hope FM’s own award-winning presenters and producers, as well as other industry experts.
Attendees were treated to in-depth workshops by the likes of Celest Anthony, Danilo Acquisto, DJ Eazy, Gerard Muller, Grant Lesch, Delucia Daniels, Altus Venables, Carissa Cupido, Kyeezi, and Rinaldo Felaar, covering key areas such as presenting, producing, music programming, and media relations. The sessions provided practical insights into storytelling, voice control, show development, playlist curation, and personal branding.
A highlight of the day was Good Hope FM presenters candidly sharing their journeys with all their highs and lows, offering real-world advice that truly hit home with participants.
Reflecting on the event’s success, Masi Mdingane, Business Manager for Good Hope FM and 5FM, said, “The energy in the room was electric. Seeing so many passionate individuals eager to learn and engage reaffirmed our commitment to nurturing the next generation of radio talent. This masterclass wasn’t just about imparting knowledge; it was about igniting a spark. Good Hope FM is proud to play a role in shaping the future voices of South African radio.”
The masterclass underscores Good Hope FM’s dedication to community development and its role as a catalyst for emerging talent in the broadcasting arena. As Cape Town’s Original, the station continues to invest in initiatives that empower and uplift, ensuring the legacy of South African radio remains vibrant and inclusive.
