Radio Drama is the theatre of the mind, a journey full of trials and tribulations, a rollercoaster ride of emotions that life throws at us. These stories are a true reflection of our diverse country. We are introduced to the lives of diverse communities as they live their lives and push through challenges. The characters’ lives are full of life with a combination of love and genuine warmth as well as hatred, envy, and contempt for one another.

These stories are gracefully acted by professionals in the field and are written by different writers. Radio Drama series explores the lives, loves, and emotions of the community of different people from all walks of life as they define themselves and find their place in the changing South Africa. All the drama series have fictional towns and places exploring different economic, religious, and cultural differences faced by the community of that place. The drama could be positioned in a township, a suburb, or a village to explore and speak on challenges ordinary citizens go through. At the end of it all, they triumph, and these stories aim to inform, educate, and entertain the public.

He also acknowledged that it was a serious organisational failure that senior Hawks officials had information about individuals allegedly linked to organised crime, but failed to act on it.
