UNITRA Community Radio based in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, celebrated a major 30-year milestone on the airwaves, highlighting its decades of community impact and entertainment. Joining the celebrations last week was Deputy Minister Kenny Morolong who said that the radio station connects communities and makes sure that local voices remain at the heart of public discourse.
He said the 30 years of broadcasting was not just an ordinary achievement, and that the UCR FM story is one of resilience, innovation and unwavering service to community.
“Its longevity is a testament to visionary leadership, dedicated staff and volunteers, loyal listeners and the enduring support of the communities it serves,” he said. He added that the radio station has become much more than just a radio station, but a trusted source of information, a platform for dialogue and a catalyst for community development.
