Dear Anacletta

Congratulations with the invitations for the interviews.  It is excellent that the information on IYA reach people in many languages. We also have had excellent interest and interviews on IYA from Afikaans Radio Stations like RSG, Radio Kragbron and Radio Rosestad.

Hi

For HartRAO The International Year of Astronomy started well with the
public talk at JHB Observatory and a launch at Norkem Park Primary School
on Monday during the partial solar eclipse. This has created a lot of
interest and curiosity in the public and I have been invited on two radio
stations for an interview that will be broardcast this evening. If you can
understand Zulu and Sotho tune into Thobela Fm (90.1) at 8-30pm and
Ikhwekhwezi Fm (106.3)at 9-30 pm  .

The interview on Ikhwekhwezi Fm is pre-recorded while the one on Thobela
Fm will be live so you can even call in for questions. The topics I will
cover are IYA, what is astronomy and the latest developments in South
Africa including some career paths.

Ke a leboha/Thank you
