As we are committed to a deepened democracy where every adult citizen has an equal say in all the decisions which affect them, we decided to partner up with Cape Town-based community radio station, Radio 786 (100.4 FM) to discuss topics and events as a means to share information and facilitate debate. Using this platform, we aim to encourage listeners to hold public representatives to account and offer them tools on how to do so.

We host an hour discussion on various topics sharing insights and asking crucial questions with an expert panel.
