HARARE, Zimbabwe, March 2, 2009/African Press Organization (APO)/ - A 
new radio station, Zimbabwe Community Radio, is broadcasting from the 
United Arab Emirates in a bid to create awareness on the value of 
community radio for development, freedom of speech and promotion of local 
culture especially among marginalised minorities in the country.

Zimbabwe Community Radio's daily broadcasts are aired between 10PM-
11PM on shortwave. The broadcasts were scheduled to begin on shortwave 
5935 KHZ on 1 March 2009 but experienced technical hitches necessitating 
a switch to 5995 KHz on 29 March 2009.

According to representatives of the station, broadcasts would be in three 
languages isiNdebele, English and Shona as well as providing a channel for 
communication on economic, political, social, cultural and developmental 
issues affecting Zimbabweans.

Zimbabwe Community Radio joins several externally-based privately owned 
stations that include SW Radio Africa based in London, Voice of the People 
operating from Madagascar, and the Voice of America's Studio 7 
broadcasting from Washington DC  which were forced to transmit from 
outside the country because of the country's prohibitive licensing regulations. 
The radio stations are manned by Zimbabwean journalists exiled in the 
Diaspora.

According to Article 19 of the Global Peace Agreement signed on 15 
September 2008, parties to the government pledged to ensure the 
immediate processing of licenses by the Broadcasting Authority of 
Zimbabwe in terms of both the Broadcasting Services Act. It also states that 
all Zimbabwean nationals, including those currently working for or running 
external radio stations, shall be encouraged to make applications for 
broadcasting licenses in Zimbabwe in terms of the law.
