The new year, 2026, is the year of the new look, and to start off with we are putting glass in the window frames. We had most of the glass cut last week and now it is time to change the way the building looks by putting them in. This new stage is one of the things which will upgrade both the appearance and the usefulness of the building. The […]
Businesses are soon wrapping up for the year and going on their Christmas holidays, so first off Merry Christmas to all! Up here in Ikelenge, the “Christmas flower” also know as the “Doctor’s Joy” but properly named the Flame Lilly, is in full bloom bringing a dashes of red in what resembles small flames to the sides of the roads, ant hills and fields. Along with it, though not as […]
Today was another milestone in the building of the recording studio and Chejeji FM’s first home; it was time to pour the concrete floor. We are over a month behind our desired schedule due to the lack of cement in Ikelenge! We were wondering if it was an issue with the road as that is getting steadily worse due to the rains, but the cement sellers here in Ikelenge have […]
What a change!!! Walking into the building now things are really different as all the interior walls are plastered, and most of the rooms are ready for the concrete floor. We are thankful to the Lord that things are slowly taking shape even with shortages of cement and building materials in Ikelenge plus adverse weather. The first day of plastering outside, Ikelenge received our first hail storm of the year […]

Throughout the world, those playing music from any artist (whose work is not registered as royalty free) in a public place […]

Check out the post on IBA’s facebook account. We had been expecting a call for and interview, but looks like that was not needed in the process this time. Instead we were […]
At the moment, the shell of the studio building is just a place for wasps, bats and cats to hide in, but that is not it’s end goal. Those of us working on the building have seen many changes over the past number of months and it is now beginning to look like what we want. Now that the main structure of the building is in place the time has […]
What a sigh of relief! After a lot of hard work, and many hours of discussion and sitting over a computer, we have finally put together the application for Chejeji FM and at the end of the work day today it was personally submitted to IBA. Our desire with this application is to create a station aimed at supporting churches and the wider Christians community with content tailored to Lunda […]
Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Today is such a special day as we have just heard that the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) has just sent out a call for applications for the provision of Radio Broadcasting Services. What does that mean? Well, it means that they are inviting people to apply for the ability to set up a new or expand and existing FM radio station. More than that, IKELENGE is on […]
What a time for celebration today; we have finished the roof of the recording studio! Due to the special nature of this building, since it is a recording studio, we needed to do some special things to the roof. Normally here in Ikelenge, we get about 6 months of rain each year. Rain, whether heavy or light, always makes a noise on a tin roof – often making it sound […]
