This compelling documentary traces the rich history of Radio Bantu, focusing on the evolution of the Sesotho-language station from its early beginnings under Radio Diffusion to its transformation into Radio Bantu, then Radio Sesotho, later Sesotho Stereo, and now proudly known as Lesedi FM. The documentary features reflections from legendary former presenters including Ntate Sweu Tshele, Ntate Mothofela Makgetha, Ntate Phineus Gambu, Ntate Daniel Teboho Phekoe, and Ntate Thebe Moakgi. Their voices bring to life the station’s cultural legacy, its role in community upliftment, and its journey through South Africa’s broadcast history
