07 July - Human Rights - The Public Participation in Education Network
The South African Constitution guarantees to everyone the right of access to health care services, however despite the fact that the government has taken important initiatives in the health sector many South Africans still do not enjoy affordable and adequate access to health care facilities. The health sector provides many urgent challenges to government and civil society. On the Health segment of SAKHISIZWE Bush Radio is rising to the challenge and creating awareness around (to mention a few of our program coverage), HIV/Aids, Immunisation, Acute Childhood illnesses, Cervical Cancer and other poverty related diseases like tuberculosis and cholera.
HUMAN RIGHTS - TUESDAY
Human rights are given clear prominence in the Constitution. Among the rights stipulated are those of equality, freedom of expression and association, political and property rights, housing, healthcare, education, access to information and access to courts. Do you know what your rights are, whether they have been violated and would you know what course of action is open to you if in fact they have been violated ? Every Tuesday we seek to inform and empower you about your rights, whether you have been treated unfairly at you place of work, because of your gender or the language that you speak.
GENDER - WEDNESDAY
The Gender show on Sakhisizwe while it acts in the interest of women, also serves to incorporate and address issues that pertain to men. We look at gender issues in a holistic manner serving not only to provide women with contact details of organisations that would assist them if they find themselves in a negative situation but also delve into why men are abusive and what the effects of their abuse are on their families and themselves as men, husbands and fathers. We also pay particular attention to the most disadvantaged, poverty stricken women ie domestic workers, farmworkers. The overall message of the show is that gender equality starts at home and that we need to value girls and women.
LABOUR – THURSDAY
One of South Africa’s major challenges is the grave unemployment situation – in a survey that was conducted in 1995 out of 14.4 million economically active adults, 4.2 million were unemployed. Unemployment is higher among the black population and women are most affected at 65%. The Labour show on Sakhisizwe aims to play a significant role in addressing unemployment and poverty by providing pertinent information around the following issues: Domestic workers and their rights, maternity benefits, unfair dismissal BEE and UIf to mention a few.
ARTS, CULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT - FRIDAY
South Africa is a cultural melting pot, full of different ingredients and flavours - Get a taste of this tasty dish on Sakhisizwe’s Arts, Culture and Environment show on Friday from township ballet to African Opera, with a dash of jukskei, kwaito and much, much more. We will also focus on our abundant wildlife wonders and world acknowledged heritage sites.
