The Hit of the Music
Coal Radio SA is a community-driven online radio station broadcasting from the Eastern Cape — a platform for emerging local talent, culture and the people who make this region sing.
From the Mountains to the Airwaves
Coal Radio SA NPC is a registered Non-Profit Company founded by Muzi Kei Thabani Muzi Khumalo, born in the majestic Drakensberg mountains of Bergville, KwaZulu-Natal, and raised in Pietermaritzburg.
Established in the Eastern Cape, between East London and Stutterheim, Coal Radio SA was born from a deep love for music, culture and community upliftment. What started as a dream in the mountains of KZN has become a voice for the Eastern Cape and beyond.
We are more than an online radio station — we are a community movement.
Our Mission
To provide accessible, educational and entertaining broadcasting that informs, inspires and empowers our communities, while giving a platform to emerging local talent that would otherwise go unheard.
Our Vision
To be a leading community-driven radio platform — one that grows local voices into careers and keeps the Eastern Cape heard, celebrated and connected.

Muzi Kei is the founder of Coal Radio SA. He is also a Coal Radio Breakfast Show host.

What the Community Says
Listeners, artists and neighbours on what the station means to them.
I sent my demo in on a Tuesday and heard my song on air that Saturday. Nobody had ever played my music before. Coal Radio gave me my first real audience.

The community news slot is how I find out what's happening in my own town. It's local, it's in my language, and it actually cares about the people listening.

We partnered with Coal Radio for our youth day event and the whole region heard about it. They showed up, set up and gave our young people a microphone.
