SARI @ Mother

South Africa Radio Internships
Bush Radio, affectionately known as "The Mother of Community Radio in Africa", sustains itself through the support of committed people from around the world who believe that everyone has the right to freedom of expression?????.and the airwaves.
One of the ways we are supported is the South Africa Radio Internships - SARI. The project sees broadcasting students and seasoned professionals pay to help us move our democracy forward while at the same time experiencing some of the wonders that Cape Town and environs has to offer.
The fees paid by interns pays the project's general running costs as well as a small stipend to young radio activists from the townships around Cape Town. There is no formal training in radio production available in South Africa at this time, a situation we aim to remedy by getting our fledgling Broadcast Training Institute BTI by the Department of Education in the next few months. The whole idea is to get away from the addiction of donor funding and government handouts for both have their own, not so hidden, dangers.
Since we don't encourage advertising, your support in this programme will help us keep the flame of grassroots communication alive while at the same time help cover a future broadcaster's travel costs plus a small stipend. 

Attachment Internships:

Are you a broadcasting student in need of an internship overseas?
Do you want to gain some valuable experience alongside some of the most dedicated young media practitioners in South Africa?
Internships of up to three months are offered as a development opportunity to young broadcasting and communication scholars from all over the world. We place interns in our ever busy News Department , the very creative Production Department and with our popular OnAir Team. On acceptance you will receive a comprehensive induction manual and the name of the local trainee that will benefit from your presence and be your "buddy" for the duration of your stay. We assist in finding you suitable and safe accommodation and provide you with airport pick up and drop off. 



Sabbatical for Media Professionals:
- Are you a trained broadcaster who needs a break from the boring routine of network commercial radio? - Do you wish you could fulfill those creative radio dreams you had when you first started out as a radio maker? - Do you believe that radio can be used as an upliftment tool to better the lives of people in the developing world? 

 If the answer to these questions is "yes"?.please read on.

Make the programmes you've always wanted to hear on the air. Join committed broadcasters from around the world who gather at Bush Radio to produce meaningful and creative radio. In the month of February 2004 we worked alongside interns from Norway1, The Netherlands2 

Cost for internship is R 5000-00 per month  (app. $500 US)*
* "I have had quite a lot of contact with popular media in the United States, and elsewhere in the world, and have rarely come across achievements comparable to yours. I appreciated the vitality and seriousness as well as the very high level of professionalism and dedication of the staff and volunteers from all over the globe. 
What you are doing at Bush Radio is extremely important."
