The very first voice heard at 6h00 on 31 May 2003 was Pieter Rischmuller (on loan from Radio Pretoria), who at the time was asked to assist the station until it found its feet.

It all started when the need for a local community radio station, focused on Afrikaans culture and language in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga was identified by a group like minded people known as 'Die Verkenners'.

The idea was spearheaded, around two years before the license was awarded, by Albertus Van Zijl (a local business man and lawyer), who also later became the first Chairman.
