A report from UCB Africa
Apr 1st, 2008 by rudi
Gurue Radio ministries, Mozambique launched their Christian radio production on air in November 2007. Now there are 3X30 minute Christian programmes on air per week – the first of its kind. Feedback is that their programmes have received the most written reaction of all programmes, in the form of letters to the station manager. The footprint of the station reaches three of the districts around it and listeners as far as 70 km away receive a clear signal.
UCB Africa and some local (SA) financial supporters fund the productions and air time, which amounts to a small amount of approximately R2000 pm (US $300). Producers for the programme are trained at Radio Pulpit in Pretoria. Currently the broadcasts are in Lomwe (local language) but requests have been received for programmes to be translated also into Portuguese.
