Thank you visiting our new home. We trust that you will find all the infomation made available relevant and accurate..Vibe fm has been granted a four year licence on community sound broadcast by the Independent Communication Authority of South Africa (ICASA) to broadcast on 94.7 frequency.

This licence has been granted to us with a special condition that we provide development communication for INK area as the brief for the call for licence application by the ICASA called for geographical initiatives.
Vibe fm will form an integral part of the INK urban renewal programme by providing a communication link to the grass roots level of the community. As an institution, this project aims not only to be a tool for information dissemination but also as a tool for change. As the INK was named a presidential node for development, there is a lot of room and need for communication development. All our programmes are aligned with the vision and goals of the INK ABM and the greater national agenda.
The station will give the ordinary citizens an opportunity to be exposed to the work of the media and to participate in the development of their own communities. We aim to involve ordinary citizens in the governance, programming, news and all spheres of this initiative; therefore we are participating in reshaping this country’s history. The main objectives for starting this radio station were to purify and implement a spirit of solidarity within the diverse communities and to plant seed of tolerance amongst different opinions.
During this time of growth, Vibe fm Community Radio has been dependent on mainly donor sources of funding. These have included airtime sales as well as programme sponsorship.
