New community radio for Polokwane kicks up the energy

Energy FM is the latest community radio station for the people of Polokwane and the surrounding areas. With a slogan 'the pulse of the city', the station is expected to be the heartbeat of the city in terms of information and entertainment.

Covering issues that matter

Energy FM's Chairman, Simphiwe Mdlalose and the Founder Shonisani 'Ashifashabba' Muleya led a team that was responsible for bringing the radio station to the city. "Like other cities in the world, our city needed a radio station that would concentrate on covering all issues and matters that affect our people," Mdlalose said.

The broadcasting format carries 65% music and 35% talk. The music will feature a variety of genres such as R&B, soul, Afro-pop, Afro-soul, hip-hop, Kwaito, house jazz and gospel. It will broadcast 24 hours throughout the Capricorn district with 60% in English and 40% in vernacular, incorporating the three dominant ethnic groups in the city (sePedi, tshiVenda, and xiTsonga).
