About
I’m Noxolo Manyati, an audio journalism lecturer and researcher based at Rhodes University in Makhanda. I’ve spent the past few years conceptualising and implementing participatory audio storytelling projects, including the Makhanda Diaries, while also teaching undergraduate audio production and isiXhosa for journalism.
My research focuses on audio diaries, community radio audiences, and how digital platformisation is reshaping youth participation, ownership, and community. I recently completed an MA on audio diaries and community radio audiences (awaiting examiner feedback) and am currently developing PhD work on reimagining participation in South African community radio through youth engagement at Rhodes Music Radio.
