Excitement continues to build up at the University as its radio’s birthday, which is June 16, crips ever so closer. Afika Mkhahlela, one of the longest-serving members of MUT Radio crew, said they were running a competition wherein listers are requested to spread the word about MUT Radio. Mkhahlela said to enter the competition, listeners need to send their names, student numbers and their mobile numbers, to Radio1@mut.ac.za “When the MUT Radio presenter calls you, please answer by saying ‘MUT Radio, I am a new listener!’ The price is yours,” said Mkhahlela. The MUT Radio is giving away an exclusive MUT branded 12 can cooler bag, MUT branded cap, an MUT branded T-shirt, and a lanyard. In promoting awareness about MUT Radio, and gaining the students as their core listeners, the MUT Radio team, together with Marcomms are visiting all MUT residences and asking students questions about MUT Radio, and assisting students to download the MUT Radio App. “We help the students to download the App. Upon downloading the App, the student is then given a lanyard, or carrier bag, or an MUT branded pen. It they send a voice note, the student gets a cap. When they get a call from MUT Radio DJ, and answers the call correctly, they are given the big price, which is the 12 can cooler bag.
