ANCYL leader Julius Malema wants to hear more kwaito music on the radio, partly to teach 2010 tourists "one or two things" about local artists.

The SABC board had agreed to increase the public broadcaster's quota of local music to 70 percent, Malema said on Thursday.

This would ensure that visitors to the 2010 Soccer World Cup get to know South African music.

"When we go to them, they bombard us with their music... let's impose ourselves on them, because they are visiting us... so that these world artists can learn one or two things," said Malema.

"Our music includes kwaito music, no apology about it. It defines who we are, we the township boys and girls, that's where we come from, that's our hip-hop here in South Africa."

This was discussed at a meeting between the African National Congress Youth League and the interim board of the SABC on Wednesday.

"For Public Broadcasting Stations (PBS), the board agreed to increase the quota of local music to 70 percent," said Malema.

The ANCYL also requested that youth educational programming be increased in the SABC.

"Moving forward, the ANCYL will be engaging all relevant stakeholders in broadcasting, particularly Icasa [Independent Communications Authority of SA], SA Music Rights Organisation (Samro), departments of communications and arts and culture to ensure that local music quotas are increased across all radio stations."

Also, the ANCYL requested that the SABC create a national youth radio station.

"We agreed with the SABC that a committee will be established and it will work on the details of who are we going to approach [in] the issue of the youth radio station.

"One of the things they [SABC] will do, they will have to make an application themselves and we'll have to support that application and they will also work on the funding model of that radio station, where we can get funds, who can be approached," said Malema.

It was agreed that the National Youth Development Agency should also be brought on board, he said.
