Khwezi visits a community radio station in Mozambique During a 3 and a half week trip through approximately 5 countries two of radio Khwezi's presenters, Mr. Thomas Maphanga (from the Zulu department) and Johan Claassen (Afrikaans department) visited a community radio station in Mozambique. The "Cuamba Community Radio Station" is situated in the Nyassa province in the middle of Mozambique,  in the town and district called Cuamba. It was a surprise to the two presenters when they recognised some of the equipment produced in South Africa. Even technology used is advanced and does not depict what the rest of the country looks like at all. Outside of the station walls, the country is still recovering from the past civil wars between Renamo and Frelimo, with tanks and broken down military vehicles rusting away next to the roads etc. It was also not easy taking pictures of the station because of the imprinted mentality that photographers are spies! Eventually the meeting with the presenters became more relaxed and we managed to take these few photos. The woman is the station manager, the guy at the transmitter box is the technician, and the group photo was with the presenter.
