Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi set eyes on a radio station in Zimbabwe

Music icon Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi has set his eyes on a radio station in Zimbabwe, a feat that would see him make history in the country’s broadcasting industry.

Yesterday, representatives of Tuku’s proposed station, KissFM — in which he is co-owner along with unnamed partners — appeared before the Media and Information Commission and the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe for a public inquiry in Harare.

In an interview with NewsDay, the music guru said the project would initially be in a technical partnership with the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Holdings as they did not have adequate resources to go solo.
