Capital Radio Joins the 3rd Annual National Film & TV Awards: Amplifying South Africa’s Creative Voice

November 6, 2025 4

In every great story, there’s a rhythm — a pulse that connects people, evokes emotion, and drives the narrative forward. For decades, radio has been that rhythm for millions across South Africa — a constant companion through change, a bridge between cultures, and a platform for authentic voices.

This November, that same rhythm will resonate through the halls of the State Theatre in Pretoria as Capital Radio South Africa proudly partners with the 3rd Annual National Film & TV Awards as an official sponsor. Together, the two platforms will celebrate creativity, storytelling, and the power of South African media.

Celebrating Excellence in Storytelling

Produced by the National Media News Group, the National Film & TV Awards have become one of the country’s most prestigious celebrations of artistic achievement — honouring the directors, producers, actors, writers, and innovators who continue to define South Africa’s entertainment landscape.

With Capital Radio joining the celebration, this year’s ceremony welcomes a media partner that understands not only the business of broadcasting but also the heartbeat of storytelling — connection.

A Shared Commitment to Creative Excellence

For Capital Radio, this partnership reflects a deep commitment to the creative industries that form the foundation of South Africa’s cultural identity. The worlds of film, television, and radio are closely intertwined — each serving as a medium of expression that informs, entertains, and inspires.

Founded on principles of independence, integrity, and innovation, Capital Radio has long stood as a pioneer in South African media. From challenging conventions in its early days to evolving into a dynamic multimedia platform today, the station continues to amplify diverse voices, celebrate local talent, and champion the creative spirit that defines the nation.

Symbolic Synergy

The alignment between Capital Radio and the National Film & TV Awards is both natural and symbolic. Both institutions celebrate originality, diversity, and excellence, and both recognise that storytelling — in all its forms — shapes perception and drives progress.

As filmmakers and actors bring stories to life on screen, Capital Radio gives those same stories a voice — extending their reach beyond cinema and into the hearts of millions of listeners nationwide.

Driving the Future of African Storytelling

As South Africa’s entertainment industry continues its global ascent, collaborations like this one underscore the importance of unity across creative platforms. The creative economy thrives in synergy — where sound meets story, music meets vision, and technology meets tradition.

By supporting the National Film & TV Awards, Capital Radio not only honours the achievements of today’s artists but also invests in the future of African storytelling.

A Celebration Beyond the Stage

Taking place on November 22 at the State Theatre, the 3rd Annual National Film & TV Awards will bring together South Africa’s brightest stars, most promising newcomers, and leading industry figures under one roof.

Through this partnership, Capital Radio will ensure the celebration extends far beyond the event itself — across airwaves, digital platforms, and communities nationwide — amplifying the voices and stories that define South African excellence.

Championing New Voices

Capital Radio’s involvement goes beyond sponsorship. The station has long championed emerging talent, offering a platform for new voices in music, film, and media. Through interviews, live event coverage, and cultural features, Capital Radio continues to connect the entertainment industry with audiences who value authenticity, innovation, and inspiration.

A Legacy of Storytelling

This partnership represents more than a moment — it’s a milestone. It reaffirms Capital Radio’s mission to elevate creativity, support local talent, and inspire connection through storytelling.

As the lights dim and the stage comes alive on November 22, Capital Radio will stand as both partner and storyteller — broadcasting the triumphs, emotions, and unforgettable moments that define South African excellence.

For Capital Radio, the collaboration with the National Film & TV Awards is not just about entertainment; it’s about legacy — ensuring that the stories that shape us on screen, on stage, and on air continue to resonate for generations to come.
