Izwi LoMzansi 98.0 FM

Izwi LoMzansi 98.0 FM is a Durban-based community radio station. It has broadcast on 98.0 FM under an ICASA-regulated non-profit trust since 1998, serving the Greater eThekwini Municipality. The station runs a 60% talk and 40% music format, broadcasting mainly in isiZulu for adults aged 25 to 65.

Daily broadcasts cover municipal news, traffic updates, and community talk. Key programs feature the Imbizo Breakfast Show with Mxolisi Mhlongo and Sigeqa Amagula Drive with Nosipho. Music blocks focus on Maskandi, Kwaito, Afro-Soul, and local Gospel, alongside cultural segments like Pat Zondi’s Ezakudala.

Izwi LoMzansi 98.0 FM draws about 341,000 daily listeners in the LSM 4–7 brackets. People tune in because this station digs into local water issues, infrastructure gaps, and township economics that big commercial networks miss. It lacks the massive reach of Ukhozi FM or Gagasi FM, but this radio station keeps local reporting direct and grounded.
