The sound of the city

Amapiano grew out of Gauteng's townships in the 2010s and became a global sound, and Johannesburg is also a city of jazz and kwaito. Amapiano radio and South African radio online go further.

A little history

South African radio began in Johannesburg in 1924. Radio 702 started in 1980, broadcasting from the then "homeland" of Bophuthatswana, and grew into the city's leading talk station.

Listening from elsewhere

Johannesburg keeps South African Standard Time, two hours ahead of UTC all year.
