RADIO Mubarak, a new online radio station broadcasting from Pietermaritzburg with a satellite studio in Durban, will burst onto the airwaves this week.
The radio station’s tagline is Welcome Home and Mubarak means Congratulations, an expression of delight and good wishes.
Radio Mubarak is based on the Islamic ethos of Oneness, unity and upon the maxim of Umuntu ngumuntu ngobuntu wabantu – A human is human through the humanity of human.
It will be broadcast mainly in English with segments in Urdu and IsiZulu, with special features anchored by local, national and international volunteer correspondents.
Radio Mubarak is the brainchild of media personality, compere, MC, and lifestyle and fashion correspondent, Faradh Patel.
A seasoned broadcaster, Faradh Patel is set to hit the airwaves with his Morning Drive Show, a live interactive current affairs show with local, national and international contributors. News and interviews are interspersed with traffic and weather updates and Naaths (praise poetry) and Anasheeds (Arabic word for song).
With his infectious laughter, quirky world-view and high energy levels, Patel intends to make waves this season with the established brand Morning Drive Show: Aspirational, Inspirational, Motivational.
Radio Mubarak's broadcast will focus on the significance of auspicious days and nights during this important tenement of the Islamic faith and on local communities in KZN. Patel encourages listeners, irrespective of their faith and beliefs to tune in. “We live in such a multicultural society that it is helpful to be aware of what is happening in our extended community and beyond,”
Patel is joined by friend and radio personality, Fahim Jamadar.
Catch Faradh Patel on the Morning Drive Show every Monday to Friday from 7am to 10am and Fahim Jamadar on The Fahim Jamadar Drive from 4pm to 7pm.
