Why Is Radio In Zimbabwe Not Playing Your Music? Napoleon Nyanhi Explains

Why is Radio in Zimbabwe not playing your music? Only a Radio practitioner can give a satisfactory response. Radio in Zimbabwe is the biggest platform for music promotion in terms of accessibility. Yes, it still is. The online media space only represents and reaches a fraction of the 15 million+ people in Zimbabwe.  So many local artists have tense relationships with radio stations because of airplay issues.
