Happening Now: What is a community radio station?

Join the conversation with @donald_mukota and @ZacrasOnline- @johnchirinda and Pelargia Kapuya tonight on the #DeepDive on @capitalkfm

#mediareformsnow #AIPPAandBSAMustFall @donald_mukota @ZacrasOnline @JohnChirinda @capitalkfm Chirinda says the community radio initiatives are not breaking the law, they are however initiatives in a state of preparedness to be licensed to become radio stations. These initiatives are alternative methods to share information with communities.
