To cap up the day was official launch of Ḽotsha FM, a community radio station that focuses on local issues, traditions and values was officially launched by the Minister of Information Mrs Monica Mutsvangwa.


She said for a radio station to earn respect and recognition, there has to be discipline and hard work from the sole custodians of the station.


A resident identified as Mr Mulaudzi said the birth of Ḽotsha FM is a milestone for the Venda community as it brings out issues in and around the area.


He said young people with various talents would benefit immensely from a wild array of programs the radio station was rolling out.
