Blantyre, 28 July, 2020 / 11:21 pm (ACI Africa).
Kuwala FM, the Catholic Radio established last week in Malawi’s Archdiocese of Blantyre, is expected to serve as an instrument of evangelization with a particular “focus on the pastoral challenges” when it will go on air, the Communication Coordinator of the Archdiocese has told ACI Africa in an interview.
“It is a radio that is for evangelization. There are other Catholic radios in other dioceses and Radio Maria at the national level but we want this one to focus on the pastoral challenges that are specifically to the Archdiocese of Blantyre,” Fr. Frank Mwinganyama told ACI Africa Tuesday, July 28.
Archbishop Thomas Luke Msusa of Blantyre Archdiocese announced the “birth of Kuwala FM, a radio station for the Archdiocese of Blantyre” last week, July 23, indicating that the Catholic Radio will cover the Archdiocese of Blantyre and its environs and that it “will go on air in the next eight months.”
“Through this radio, we shall tell the story of Christ; we shall tell the story of Mother Mary, Queen of All Hearts and we shall weave and tell our own story as the Archdiocese of Blantyre,” Archbishop Msusa said referencing Kuwala FM, whose name originates from the local Chichewa language to mean light.
Established as the fifth Catholic radio station in the landlocked southern Africa nation, Kuwala FM will operate under the slogan, “Light of the world.”
