OFM, inspiring listeners to live the real good life in Central South Africa, is dedicating a whole week of radio to the Goldfields during Welkom Week from 26 to 30 October.

On 95.7, OFM will engage businesses and listeners to introduce Welkom and OFM’s Welkom operation to a broader audience. Yolanda Maartens will present her show, Mid-Morning Magic between 09:00 and 12:00 from the OFM’s Welkom studios at Goldfields Mall throughout the week.

On the 28th of October, Goldfields Mall will be celebrating its tenth birthday and to mark this grand occasion, they will be giving away ten R1 000 cash prizes as well as a whopping R50 000 House & Home voucher. To qualify for this competition, a person needs to be spotted in Goldfields Mall during the month of October. They will have to complete a form and ten finalists will be selected live on air during Mid-Morning Magic during the week of 26 to 30 October. Shandor Potgieter will broadcast live from the Mall on Saturday, 31st of October between 09:00 and 12:00 when the grand prize draw will take place.

As part of its celebrations, the Mall will also have many special offers for visitors. These will be presented by Yolanda Maartens during the OFM Live Link between 15:00 and 16:00 each day from the 26th to the 29th of October.

According to Nick Efstathiou, CEO of Central Media Group, the purpose of Welkom Week is to showcase the area, it’s people, the businesses in the Goldfield and OFM’s commitment to the community.

“Welkom is the second-largest city in the Free State and its Sotho name, Matjhabeng, means where nations meet. It is believed the Sotho name is derived from the many ‘nations’ from Lesotho, Malawi and Mozambique who came to work in the mines of the gold fields. OFM has decided to have a presence in Welkom, because it has such an important place in the community. Welkom Week gives us an opportunity to introduce this town to a much wider audience.”
