WE’RE BUILDING THE BIGGEST
CLASSROOM IN AFRICA.
As we reach our 175th birthday we’re doing what we do best - investing in a better future.
Because the key to that future is clearly online education, we’re busy creating what will
become Africa’s biggest digital classroom. It will connect teachers and learners of all ages,
upskill entrepreneurs and open up opportunities to compete in a new world economy. When
you focus on the future for 175 years, you learn that while times change, the things that
matter don’t. #175Africa

              between 26 -46.

              listenership spread due to quality. Through the internet, listeners can access the station’s
