PEOPLE from KwaNdebele want their station to stay in Tshwane or move to KwaMhlanga in Mpumalanga – but it must not move to Auckland Park!

According to Prince Vusi Mahlangu of the KwaNdebele tribe, there are rumours that the Ikwekwezi FM station will be moved from Tshwane. Mahlangu said they had to stand up and meet the SABC management.
