Black Bird or Bantu Queen also know as Nonkululeko Ndlovu has launched her own radio station, Bantu FM which is based in Zambia Livingstone.

The Former Star FM producer and presenter set up the station after also having worked for Zambezi Fm(Livingstone Zambia) and Pan African Radio (Lusaka Zambia).Her radio station will focus more on talk shows and music.

It will also cater for any specific country, tribe or nationality. Their content is a mixture of music and talk shows from black people across the globe.

Bantu Fm will also not discriminate on any African event if they don’t use English we support all African languages and cultures.

“Having worked for various radio stations in the past (including Star FM in Zimbabwe, Zambezi FM (Livingstone, Zambia) and Pan African Radio (Lusaka, Zambia) opened me up to the fact that the majority of radio stations do not have women in the ownership structures. Most women are presenters and sometimes work in marketing or occasionally as management,”said Blackbird as she spoke on her inspiration.
