DSM gave TUT FM a new set of wheels, which will be used by the station to gather stories in Soshanguve as well as nearby locations.
However, the car will be taken back once the partnership
comes to end after eighteen months.DSM gave TUT FM the car so that it becomes
easier for their journalists to cover stories as well as meeting up with their
sources.
TUT FM’s representative, George Maremo said that they are overwhelmed
as a station as this token came in time of need, “we do not have a dedicated car
for the station, hence this car will make things easier, we will use it to
gather all the information that is needed by the station”.

Katlego Matjeding, who is a representative of DSM Motors
said that they partnered with TUT FM to upscale their marketing sight of the
business as they will be able to market both on their side and TUT FMs side, “it
was always a plan to knock of variety of doors hence we decided to call community
radio stations as people from the community listen to community radio stations”.

Kedibone Malapa from TUT FM said that the car will fulfill a
lot of things that they were shot on, “the car will help us to arrive on time for meetings as we won’t have to book a car from the institution and it will also
enable us to fulfill our mandate as a community radio station”.
