Traditional Healer gave away a brand new car to the community radio



A local Hammanskraal resident donated a brand new vehicle to the Moretele Community Radio (MCR), in Hammanskraal as a sign of appreciation. Dr Banda, the traditional healer known to locals for healing and reuniting long lost lovers, gave away a brand new Opel Corsa utility car to the local radio station. 

Banda as he is popular known, said the station had supported his business for the past two years. “The station gave me a platform to speak to residents. Many people come to me in numbers for help,” said Banda.

“Buying a car to me meant that the community’s grievances and emergencies will be attended to.” he added

Station Manager, Hosea Kekana said the efforts made by the station were rewarded at times like this. “It is always good to know that people are really appreciating the station. Ten years of hardships and through it all we are blessed by God for bringing Banda to the station,” said Kekana.

Mmule Mokgotho, a resident from Maubane in Hammanskraal said the work done by Banda is amazing. “It is not his first time giving back to the community. He sometimes gives airtime on air to the first five callers who participate on certain shows,” said Mokgotho. MCR committee and residents hosted an hour long show, with Banda as a guest to appreciate his effort.
