In celebration of Heritage Month as well as the widespread attraction and appeal of the legacy book My Radio Memory: Listening to the Listener, the next edition of the Radiocracy Roundtable is to take place on Wednesday September 10, 2025 at the Suncoast CineCentre in Durban.

The spotlight will be on The Future of Arts Journalism in South Africa, and is scheduled at 18h00 for 18h30. The moderator is seasoned award-winning broadcast personality Varshan Sookhun, and panellists are Ismail Mahomed, Director of the Centre for Creative Arts at the University of KwaZulu-Natal; Caroline Smart, an active player in the arts industry for many a decade and Editor of ArtSMart; Warren Manning, an occupational, health, safety and environmental specialist; Slindile Khanyile, co-founder and CEO of Likhanyile Group and Board member of the Association of Independent Publishers; and Robin Sewlal, Chairperson of Radiocracy.

The Avalon Group has been magnanimous in its support for My Radio Memory: Listening to the Listener by providing its upmarket venues for the launch functions of the book in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

 AB Moosa, the CEO of the group, says, “We are pleased to be extending our warmth and hospitality to Radiocracy in hosting these crucial interventions. The Avalon Group is not only appreciative of this close association, but also strongly believes that this instalment of the Radiocracy Roundable focusing on arts journalism is of vital importance.”

He added, “My father, Moosa Moosa, would have been very proud of this smart alliance which he began many years ago with Robin Sewlal. I’m confident he is smiling down upon us from his heavenly place of abode.”

Sewlal says, “The overall objective of the Radiocracy Roundtable is to address critical components in society thereby assisting in the promotion of democracy and development.”.
