📖 About

Broadcasting in Shona and Tonga, it is an open-wave communication hub for all voices, informing, entertaining, developing, and inspiring an engaged community through quality programming. The station focuses on climate change effects, gender disparity, and the documentation of Indigenous history, particularly for the Tonga and Shona people. Through its 'Rise & Participate' project, it has trained volunteer citizen journalists, expanded its news bulletins, and facilitated community development initiatives including the installation of a borehole in the Quarry community. The station also runs a monthly women's empowerment programme called 'Simuka Ufambe Mudzimai' and hosts community events such as summer shows that give local artists a platform to showcase their talents.
