Voice of the cape presenter Shafiq Morton

Shafiq Morton runs a programme called Drive Time from 4pm to 6pm at the voice of the cape community radio station. Voice of the cape has now been on air for more than 10 years-it was established in September 1995. He started in 1995 actually he was persuaded by the station manager of the voice of the cape to be a head of news editing. Then he stepped down in 1999 and one of the staff members took over while he carried on with the DRIVE Time show.

Honestly he was not prepared to work at the radio, as he had been a photojournalist for the cape Argus since 1976. He was always interested in journalism, and in the old days in Cape Town there were no courses for journalism and he was interested in photography from an early age.

He used to help writing scripts for the advertisements and do editorials for the station. Outside the station he keeps her self busy by writing articles and now he about to finish a book. The book is about progrmmes on the radio station. He attracts the listeners by being interesting, controversial, curious and never accepting things at face value. His future plans are to get more into the analytical side of journalism. As get older he finds out that he can analyses event rather than running around the streets collecting the news.
