Kasambabezi Community Radio (Shona and Tonga)

Kasambabezi Community Radio is an open-wave communication hub for all voices, informing, entertaining, developing, and inspiring an engaged community of Kariba and surrounding areas through quality programming. The main objective is to provide a shared platform for the marginalized and disenfranchised to engage in community development and interact with other people in their own language to help build a sense of community. Another key objective is to identify, nurture, and promote local talent.

The project aims to equip journalists in urban and rural areas of Kariba with journalistic and socioeconomic skills that will help them in their careers. Such skills will improve information sharing among the community and encourage participation in all areas of interest. The station aims to increase the participation of socially, economically, and politically disadvantaged people with a bias towards women and youth, to amplify the voices of these communities, address their unique challenges and provide them with a platform to share their stories and concerns as well as their aspirations.  By focusing on the Tonga and Shona languages, the station ensures that its programming is accessible and culturally relevant.
