This is how voices of Tanzanian youth got louder

What you need to know:

When construction worker Clever Daudi Mngongo renovated a hall, he remembered the radio show Niambie.

As a matter of fact, BBC Media Action is right now pondering about the future of the program. Colin Spurway from BBC Media Action explains that the program is funded until April 2018. It is up to this day still open, if the show will continue or not. He personally would like it to go on, Mister Spurway says. “We have created a trusted brand in the last three years, so it would be a missed opportunity to let it stop in a moment when the show is so popular.” Mr Spurway aims high. His vision is that shows like Niambie will play an important role in the national elections of 2020. “It would be a dream come true if the candidates talked with the youth from all over the country through our program”, he says. “This would prove that Tanzanian leaders see young people as part of the solution rather than part of the problem.”
