8 to 10 pm on Mondays on Bush Radio is dedicated to informing and educating road users of every kind, keeping you entertained with anecdotes, quips, and insights into what makes biking popular in the Mother City and beyond.
Join our guests from the world of motorcycling – Meet Individuals, adventurers, activists, motorcycle clubs, deserving charities, and causes, bringing you their very special stories and experiences.
Join discussions on the day-to-day issues that bug you as we unpack topics of relevance to road users and bikers in particular.
Music provided by several resident DJs on rotation keeps the atmosphere light and upbeat, while professional road safety advice and information, traffic law insights and discussions around defensive riding practice keep us safe while having fun.

Bush Radio, Africa’s oldest community radio station project is in the process of renewing its broadcast and frequency spectrum license.
As part of this process we would like all our listeners, supporters, community organisations and clients to sign a petition to show their support for the application.
In line with the Bush Radio philosophy of “Don’t curse the darkness, light a candle”, the station has been hard at work looking for the resources to ensure that we remain on air during load shedding.
In 2018 the station installed a UPS system, but the constant load shedding led to the batteries degrading to such a point that the station would only remain on air for 20 minutes when the power went out at its studio in Salt River.
This past weekend the Bush Radio team guided AB Technical Solution installed and tested an auto-start diesel generator system which will allow us to stay broadcasting during load shedding.
As much as the new system relieves the immediate need for the station to remain broadcasting, it is not the final step. We would like to have a more environmentally and economic solution to power the entire station (the newsroom and administration). To this end we are looking for partners who could assist in taking the station to the next level, perhaps exploring a solar power solution and make sure that the “Mother of Community Radio in Africa” keeps bringing light to the airwaves and online with its dynamic programming and social upliftment projects.
This week Bush Radio is busier than usual. We started with a major service of our studios, starting with every piece of equipment getting taken out, dismantled, cleaned and repaired if necessary.
What this means is that we are broadcasting from our production studio.
The servicing team is under the guidance of Ebrahim Sampson from AB Technical Solution.
We guess you can call this the start of our “spring-cleaning”.

The event is called “The People’s Airwaves” and is part of MAP’s series Beyond Borders; which brings global practitioners and experts in conversation with each other, reimagining the meaning and significance of borders by blurring the boundaries between different genres and media, and exploring people and spaces that cross imagined borders.
