Popular music radio network Jacaranda FM, which has a huge audience in South Africa, has teamed up with drag queen Regina Blaque, which is the first to be delivered in the Afrikaans language. Internet station Radio GA and queer newswire Mambo Online say that since 2019, Regina Blaque has been a well-known drag queen and MC in and around Johannesburg’s social and cultural circles. Known for her big hair and even bigger heart, Regina is proudly queer and proudly Afrikaans. “This podcast is all about joy, connection and celebration,” says Regina. “It’s important for me to show that queerness belongs in our language and in our culture. We laugh, we share, and we celebrate together – and that’s exactly what Pride is about.” Mambo online concludes "The podcast launched on 2 October, just in time for Pride Month and by platforming Afrikaans voices in all their diversity, Queer in Afrikaans reclaims the language as a space where all stories can be told — and celebrated."
