SpringbokRadio.com - broadcasting daily
Because television was introduced in South Africa mercifully late (1976), many of us still grew up with an excellent selection of radio dramas and serials. The most popular station was Springbok Radio, the “commercial” bilingual broadcaster (all stations were state-owned).

It had fantastic radio versions of
The Avengers;
Father, Dear Father as well as local classics such as
Test the Team and
Só maak mens. Many will remember the serials
Wolwedans in die skemer or
My Name's Adam Kane and the more high-brow
Tuesday Theatre or
Castle Playhouse. Now, many of these shows are available again on the streaming audio service of
SpringbokRadio.com, courtesy of the Springbok Radio Preservation Society. Highly recommended!
