GUIDELINES FOR WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND PROGRAMME
The goal of the programme is to promote a commitment to national development through the sharing of information, constructive dialogue and interaction through broadcasting. However, freedom of speech in a democratic society does not mean the freedom to say absolutely ANYTHING on the radio.
All callers are expected to speak within a framework and must not:
Use profanity on the airwaves
Express opinions that are NOT based on accurate, factual information
Engage in personal attacks
Advocate violence or anything illegal
Speculate with regard to intentions as distinct from the words spoken or actions taken by public officials
Identify any children or other minors affected by an issue
Discuss any matter that is sub judice or likely to become a court matter
Quote from documents that may be confidential to which the caller is not entitled or not authorised to disclose the contents on-air
Treat all recognised religious beliefs and entities disrespectfully
Engage in lurid discussions about people’s personal lives including their own
Make comments that are not based on facts. Statements must be made in good faith without malice, on matters of public concern and not personal preference
If necessary, callers will be “Cut off” if racially or ethnically insensitive or intolerant references are made, or if references are defamatory or can bring the radio station into disrepute.
