Radio Islam was registered in November 1993 as a Section 21 company. It was granted a license in April 1997 and our first signal broadcast was on the 10 April 1997. Since its inception, the station has established a captive audience based on its specific religious content. With internal growth, wider expertise and a broader range of content has attracted a wide audience in areas well beyond its license mandate. We are guided by the Noble Qur’aan and the Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him).

What is done at Radio Islam? Radio Islam aims to promote the message of Islam. It has also become synonymous with Islamic values and a tool to dispel misconceptions relating to Islam and Muslims in South Africa and abroad. The station has become a beacon of guidance and an invitation to the world. Through the broadcast of high-quality info-edutainment, Radio Islam has become a bridge across the community divide. Radio Islam is opposed to discrimination based on gender, race, political persuasion, class, religion, belief, language and disability. The station has lived up to the adage, “Your Favourite Learning Station” and “The World is our Community”.

“Batho Pele” People first Good service delivery leads to happy customers and employee satisfaction for a job well done. As a rule, Radio Islam is dedicated to this policy of Batho Pele or People First. Through consultation, we know how to meet the needs of our listeners. If we know what is important to our customers then we can set service standards that must be realistic depending on the resources we have. Access applies especially to the previously disadvantaged sectors of the community and to people with special needs. Our diverse staff makeup includes people from these sectors and our programming services to these communities as well.

Courtesy: is not only being polite to customers but also being friendly, helpful, and treating everyone with dignity and respect. Radio Islam excels in all these categories.

Information: about our station is readily available. Just tune in to MW 1548. Our station is also open and transparent. 

Honesty: is a fundamental rule in Islam. 

Redress: is making it easy for people to tell us they are unhappy with our service. Our staff is trained to deal with complaints in a friendly, helpful manner. Complaints can help us improve our station. At Radio Islam we always give the best value using all our resources.

 Assalamu Alaykum! Peace! Jazakallah! Thank You!

  • Operation Winter Woollies – collection and distribution of clothing in winter. The station has become a channel for publicising community events, programmes and needs, thereby earning not only the respect but also the assistance of the broader non-Muslim community.

Hourly news bulletins as well as actuality analysis have seen Radio Islam grow phenomenally during these past seven years. Our bulletins include local and regional weather reports and drive time slots include local traffic reports Radio Islam has something for everybody. Our station will keep you up to date on Islamic as well as global issues. This is reflective of the diversity of the programming content. Radio Islam is also a member of the:

  • National Association of Broadcasters (NAB)
  • Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA)
  • South African Advertising Bureau
  • National Community Radio Forum

Advertising and Marketing Departments The advertising and marketing departments have embarked on a massive campaign to acquire maximum advertisers and sponsorship for the smooth running of the radio station. Alhamdulillah many businesses are advertising on a long-term basis and are reaping the benefits of advertising which is very cost-effective. Sponsorship has been acquired for a whole variety of programmes. The Advertising and marketing departments have become more professional in their approach with regards to their adverts. Customer care has become a vital part of our business. This can be clearly seen in the remarks made by our well-wishers and customers in our registers and faxes sent to us.

  • Advertising charges form the bulk of the radio station’s revenue. The business community supports the radio and this is borne out by the fact that monthly slots are booked out regularly. 
  • Sponsorships  and Debit orders
  • Donations
  • Mechanising of Radio Islam products
  • Small enterprises, including housewives, are also encouraged to take up advertising slots.

Networking with role players in the industry Radio Islam regularly attends meetings of the National Association of Broadcasters and the Independent forum of Religious Broadcasters of which we are members. We were also invited to an Open Society Conference hosted by the National Community Radio Forum. Besides this, we are also signatories to the BCCSA and the Advertising Standard Authorities of South Africa.

    This guy that was speaking on the radio, with regards to fishing, Kegan Matheys. He is anti islam. When he is given the platform he makes like he is ok with muslims but in private his true colours come out. I have proof of whatsapps that he personally sent to me telling me to go eat pork and i need pork in my life. And a lot more messages. He is a racist and Islamophobe. I exposed him a couple times on facebook as well. Please do research before giving people a platform on an islamic station. Majority of cape anglers know about him. And majority of our anglers are muslim.
    Just thought that i would let u guys know.
    Shukran
