| Ezra Tshisa Sibanda, once the youngest Radio 2 presenter at Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation in the nineties , takes you way back in time bringing back the good old days with his wide selection of rich African music. He goes down memory lane musically in chimurenga, miseve, pansula, mbaqanga, jit, rhumba to latest kwaito, house music and many more. He still remains people's favourite despite his relocation to UK where he still continues to entertain diasporians in social gatherings and parties. He is well rembered with his award winning programmes like DZEMHURI/EZEMULI, KWAZISO/UKUBINGELELANA, ENGILIKHETHELE ZONA/DZANDAKUSARUDZIRAI and many more , where he collected award after award in the nineties before he left Zimbabwe for UK. He loved his job so much and was devasted when he had to call it quits at ZBC after he was forced to produce and present propaganda programmes which were in support of the evil Zim-Government. Liten and enjoy. Contact Ezra: ezra@swradioafrica.com |

| Welcome to the Dance Zone with DJ Peter Johns | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Peter Johns has been collecting music and Djing for more years than he probably cares to remember. In 1980 he began a weekend residency at the nightclub Scamps, with his mobile disco business running parallel , and in 1981 he joined ZBC Radio 3 . Through his connections in the UK and US he was exposed to emerging trends in music which enabled him to build on his ever-growing music collection. Incorporating international music with local proved to be a great recipe, boosted his radio shows and led to Monday Mellow Madness, UK Top 40, Hit-Pick etc In 2002, restructuring and changes in policy left him with no choice but to leave the radio station he had served for a great many years . |

| This Time it's Personal Ten hours a day spent focused on the Zimbabwe crisis causes brain damage in lab rats. I'm a lab rat and I've found the only way to repair my long suffering tiny brain, is to drown in music. So drown with me and enjoy some of the tracks I use to get Robert Mugabe out of my head - Van Morrison, Tony Joe White, Kiki Dee, Nickelback, Supertramp, Yes, Underworld, Stephen Stills and more. You'll feel better. Trust me. Contact Gerry: gerry@swradioafrica.com |
