What we do

We are a Christian-based, Informative and Educational Radio Program.

Produced in Partnership with the South African Department of Correctional Services. We examine the Anguishes of Victims of Gender-Based (GBV) violence as well as the lives and rehabilitation process of offenders, prior to, during and after imprisonment.

 

Our Weekly Radio Programs

Our weekly Programs are currently broadcasted by Radio Pulpit on Thursdays and by Impact Radio on Wednesdays. The contents are intended for the public at large since the Fighting of Crime is a Social Responsibility. The Traumatic Experiences of Victims together with their emotions and fears, as well as their rights are also revealed in the Program. It studies the root causes of the antisocial behaviors, particularly those that could result in incarceration.

Our Broadcast Focus

The Broadcast probes deep into the lives and challenges of Offenders within the Correctional Centers and their different paths of rehabilitation and development. It also explores the effects and outcomes of Victim Offender Dialogues, which in some instances are pre-requisites for parole considerations. The Radio series follows the lives of Offenders on parole or after release and their specific challenges with their reintegration and acceptance within society.
