#TransAfrica radio withstands test of time

TransAfrica radio recently held an event in which it celebrated its continued success on the African sphere. The 15 year old radio station has prided itself in belting out 100% African music.

Busi Ntuli narrated about how the radio station began 15 years ago when she and her business partner realised the inadequate exposure of African music and content across Africa. Ntuli said it was this realisation which led to the birth of TransAfrica Radio.

Broadcasting on both satellite and internet streaming, the radio station is highly dedicated to establishing and highlighting African music.

TransAfrica radio boasts of full spectrum programming which not only promote African music, but also vast cultures, sporting icons etc sprouted across the continent.

Ntuli describes her mission to promote African artists as a movement and said that we all need a mindset shift. She reiterated that although there is nothing wrong with supporting western musicians, it is a travesty to ignore the talents of the artists in our own motherland.

TransAfrica Radio is available on the DSTV audio bouquet on channel 872 and on all three satellites across Africa. Ntuli is also determined to promote African music beyond the borders of Africa, with listeners in parts of Europe and Asia. The radio station can also be accessed on tunein.com and RadioBox.com.

TransAfrica radio has surely taken the front pedal in promoting African cultures through music.
