North-West University (NWU) academic in the School of Communication, Ofentse Ngake, was recently invited by Daily Thetha – a daily live television talk show on SABC1 – to share some of his research findings.

Ofentse’s master’s study focused on the Daily Theta show and specifically on the launch of its new season.

His study is titled “The role of TV talk shows in facilitating youth engagements: A case study of Daily Theta”.

In his study, he found that Daily Thetha provides young South Africans with an effective platform to engage on issues they face. He also found that young people find the show interesting because it talks about issues relevant to them, and it equips them with the necessary knowledge to address these matters.

“Being in front of the cameras and sharing my work with young people across the country was a wonderful experience,” says Ofentse.
