A regional community media development project
Durban Sings is a community media project for Durban (initially with youth groups loosely linked to CCS), seeking to involve especially those groups and communities in the inner city, the townships and surrounding settlements who have yet to gain access to the use and enjoyment of information communication technologies (ICTs) in general and media production/participation in particular. The project links aspects of oral history and story-telling with a creative community-lead re-assessment of audio radio tools and methods of broadcasting in/for the 'information society' from an 'African' perspective: how do post-colonial histories and stories sediment into everyday language; how do they shape or mark communication desires, needs and traditions of various forms and types of communities? The project hopes to 'make a case' for media in development whereby communities produce and broadcast the media that speaks for themselves, that is to say, where citizens speak and can be heard as advocates of citizens' engagement through their own cultural productivity.
DURBAN SINGS 
I personally want to say that what you are doing is rely a good thing for the community in order for people to gain awareness. This is what we need in this country, since we are a developing one.
Dear Nomonde; thank you for these words of encouragement they keep us goin. Hope to link up soon in Jozi?
ONE LOVE.
The movement will always be a movement even if people are ignorant, what ever message you send out irrespective whether the govenment does not want it or it does not speak about the new South Africa. It only speak out the independent mind of the situation that is happening out there, its ok. These broadcasting stations that we have they only speak about their friends, who they are, where are they attending the parties. Forgetting one thing that the are sitting on those chairs because of the people and they must speak about the lives of the people. They do not know radio journalism and representing the people of everyday life. They are just ”Western Photocopy Radio Deejays” the is still more that they must learn about themselves.
Rasa must only take over the platform that is runned by radio puppets.
