Actress Yvonne Chaka Chaka launches a radio station
Legendary singer and actress Yvonne Chaka Chaka has expanded her horizons with the establishment of a women-led online radio station called WOMan Radio.
The multi-award-winning singer, humanitarian, and businesswoman aims to empower women in the media space – employing and exposing the rich, unearthed talent on the continent in programming, producing, engineering, and managerial positions.
The “Giyani: Land of Blood” star says she intends to engage more unexplored content that only the uniqueness of womanhood could reveal in the digital age. Since the launch of the station in October, it has been received well by listeners, most of whom are men.
The station welcomes male listenership as a means of forging greater understanding between men and women.
Taking to social media to unveil the WOMan radio billboard, the Princess of Africa wrote: “Today was a big day for us @WomanradioSA thank you to everyone who came to support.”

Nomsa Mazwai’s The Spear, Luyanda Duma’s Young People’s Corner, Yvonne “Chaka Chaka” Mhinga’s Couch Chat, Break-free with Dr. Siyajabula Mjwara, and Gabaza Tiba’s Woman’s Worldview are among the station’s drawcard presenters.
Currently, in talks with women from the rest of Africa to join and be part of the conversation, WOMan Radio holds that “this is a man’s world” is history because “the future is WOMan”.
We are all men but those of us who bring life into this world are W(ell) O(rganized) Man,” says Chaka Chaka.
