In celebration of World Radio Day and Black History Month, TUC Radio presents "Bush Radio, Cape Town – South Africa's First Community Radio Station". This is a rebroadcast of an interview with Brenda Leonard, one of the founders of Bush Radio. Denied a license under the old Apartheid regime, Bush Radio went on the air illegally in 1993. Two broadcasters were arrested and the equipment confiscated. After the historic elections of 1994 the first broadcast licenses issued by the Mandela government were specifically for community broadcasters. In August 1995 Bush Radio began licensed broadcasts. Currently South Africa has over 250 community radio stations reaching over 9.2 million listeners each day. Produced by TUC Radio.
