The Y4Y first episode crew with presenter Khaya
Thonjeni, aka the King of Cool.

Y4Y is a radio programme made by and for young people who go to school in Grahamstown. It is broadcast on Radio Grahamstown (102.1FM) every Thursday between 5pm and 6pm and it's presented by Khaya Thonjeni (he's cool whichever way you look at it which is why we call him the King of Cool).

Each week, three Grahamstown High Schools get a chance to produce and take part in the show.Tune in to hear school news, features, interviews, debates and music. You can hear people strutting their stuff in our 15 Seconds of Fame feature and you can win great prizes by joining in our live studio discussions using Mxit. Just find Y4Y and invite us. We're talking to you and about you. It's your space .... get into it.

Our last Y4Y (19th August) was all about language – how you use it, when you use it, how you feel about it and, importantly, what language you learn in. Our schools were Kingswood, TEM Mwretyana, Mary Waters and Nombulelo and it was a very interesting discussion with lots of different views. Our guest was from the Rhodes School of African Language Studies and she had some good insights into the whole topic. Plus there’s our usual news buzz features and some great music.
