Mpumalanga East Community Radio, Gert Sibande District Municipality, Mpumalanga

African Young Dreamers, a non-profit organisation established in 2003, was approached by the young people of Embalenhle Township to start a youth community radio station in 2010. The primary aim is to become a dominant source of information and news within the Govan Mbeki Local Municipality. Mpumalanga East Community Radio targets young people, although the entire community, irrespective of age, listens to the station. The project has been licensed to broadcast in Secunda East. The format is 35% talk and 65% music. The broadcast languages are 90% English, 5% isiZulu and 5% Sepedi. The project has been assigned a permanent Radio Frequency of 97.6 MHz and will broadcast 24/7. MDDA support is for broadcast equipment, transmission costs, operational costs and audio streaming.
