Radio Orania is a South African community radio station based in the Northern Cape. The coverage area is Orania, a town in the Northern Cape,[2] although some reception is possible as far as Hopetown.[3]
Programmes are broadcast in Afrikaans language,[2] from 5 am to 4 pm and 5 to 10 pm.[2] The Orania community is the target audience.[2] Programme format includes about 40% music and 60% talk.[2]
The radio station was launched on 12 April 2008, after its predecessor Radio 100 had been shut down by ICASA.[4] The station is manned by volunteers only,[5] counting over 50 contributors.[6]
Programmes include readings of Afrikaans literature such as Mikro's Die ruiter in die nag.[7] A 13-year-old student at Orania's Volkskool made local news in 2009, when his radio play about Battle of Majuba was broadcast by the station.[8]
