Inkanyezi Yokusa, popularly known as Radio Khwezi (or in English as the "Morning Star") began beaming out its 10 kW transmission power across KwaZulu Natal at 5:45 am on Tuesday, 2 September 1995. First, however, came the astronomical three-month task of building, equipment and talent mobilisation. A true community station, approximately 150 volunteers climbed in to push knobs, wind wheels, categorise CD’s and make programmes in Radio Khwezi’s four languages: Zulu, English, German, and Afrikaans.
Together these people shared the excitement of watching a tiny, unskilfully-slow, two recording room studio expand into an efficient system with broadcasting room, library, working room, news and administrative offices and three recording rooms spitting out programmes to meet each day’s demands.
