OFM has celebrated 38 years as the sound of Central South Africa.

The station announced it is giving listeners the chance to win big cash, in appreciating them for their unwavering support.

Meanwhile, it is on the lookout for 38 contestants to test their knowledge and compete for a grand prize of R38 000 ($2,094.33 (USD) in cash. It said the competition also provides an opportunity for the listeners to prove their smarts and walk away a winner.

According to the station, to enter, listeners must register as official OFM listeners by midnight on Wednesday, 7 August. The 38 contestants will be announced live on OFM between Monday, 12 August and Wednesday, 14 August.

From Thursday, 15 August, the on-air quiz elimination rounds begin. Only the sharpest minds will survive, says OFM. The grand finale will take place on Friday, 23 August, where one ultimate winner will walk away with all that cash, says the radio station.

“To be able to celebrate this 38th milestone in OFM’s history, giving away R38 000 is a welcome opportunity. The excitement from this birthday campaign will showcase why radio still is the medium it is, even after 100 years of radio in South Africa,” said OFM program manager, Tim Thabethe.
