Elevating with UJFM

Despite the obvious reasons of UJFM being known as traditional and institutional media,it has a lot of initiative behind it which is inspired by nothing but altruism in the basis of community relations and investing in young raw talent in a sense that,it serves as a stepping stone for those who have the radio personality and students to head towards their destination.


Lindokuhle Magasela a second
year Public Relations student at
University of Johannesburg and a
presenter at UJFM,

Meet Lindokuhle Magasela a second year Public Relations and Communication student who started off by being a news reader and now hosts a feature called UJ Watagwan Continental Breakfast every Saturday which touches on day to day challenges that students encounter and tries to to tackle them through interpersonal communication.Her first show was a mess she admits but says:"My experiences have been amazing.I have learnt radio is not based on the physical appearance but intellectual swag,I was recently profiled in the  Aspire to inspire show where I shared my believe in God and advised the listeners to stay dedicated,disciplined and the higher power shall do the rest".

UJFM does not only focus on academical issues but displays generosity through getting involved in charitable events such as Mandela Day,visiting an old age home, and a childrens home for abused and disabled children.Lindokuhle Magasela says:UJFM has empowered her communication skills,which says a lot the University of Johannesburg as a brand that practically elevates the talent and interest of students.Which may be a contribution to the accomplishment of the inttitution as a brand.I salute UJFM for its inittiative.UJFM.co.za

  1. Straight to the point, I also salute UJFM for giving inexperienced students a chance to show case their capabilities and not only focusing on experienced students and those who are doing programmes that are only related to multimedia, and thanks for providing additional information, I thought UJFM only focused on academic issues.
