"I love reading and I had to choose a programme that encourages reading and the use of the English Language" shared the grade three student.
Kareem who attends the Ardenne Preparatory School also enjoys karate and often times video games. He looks up to both his father and mother as role models.
His mother, Kereen Williams more popularly known as Sunflower, one of the managers of SunCity 104.9FM shared "we do play a great role in persuading Kareem to pursue radio journalism, we see his full potential and we are always very supportive of him".
His father and Chairman for SunCity 104.9FM Steve Billings shared "When he approached me about the programme I was amazed, so we decided to make it educational and interactive".
He added "When children participate in Kareem's programme they can win great prizes such as Bibles, dictionaries, story books and activity books by answering questions in the English Language, Mathematics, Science and much more".
He is joined by Sun Jock Simple who also has children and values the need for this programme; he shared "I enjoy co-hosting with Kareem, he is very talented and he enjoys reading and composing the questions for the show" more
