Zimbabwe's Broadcasting Authority greenlighted six community radio stations: Chivi, Chomazumba in Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe, Dande FM in Dande, Jakata FM in Gutu, Ndera FM in Marondera, and Nhimbe FM in Makoni. Acting CEO Engineer Mathias Chakanyuka said the licenses are about getting communities on air to preserve their cultures and boost local storytelling.
These hyperlocal stations are meant to serve areas that usually get ignored, especially rural spots where regular broadcasting doesn't reach. They're less about playing music and more about getting people talking, organizing, and pushing development forward. The authority wants a broadcasting scene that actually reflects what everyday Zimbabweans care about instead of just pumping out generic content.
