The station rejected their music and the group got so despondent that they decided to start their own online radio station and called it Radio Eerste River. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current CEO, Joshua Kinnear, started the station in his garage with the mission to provide a platform for local talent and artists to showcase their skills. The slogan they came up with was \u201cOur Station, Our Talent, Our People\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since those humble beginnings the station has grown significantly, moving from its garage beginnings to its current studio inside Sanbury Square Mall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-station-s-success\">Station\u2019s success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Henry Prins, spokesperson for the station, the radio station\u2019s success can be attributed to its dedication to promoting local talent through job shadowing and empowering it\u2019s community. One such individual who has benefited from Radio Eerste River\u2019s initiatives is Mihlali Menzi, better known as Bell J, the host of <span>Kasi Flava<\/span>. Prins says Mihlali\u2019s journey reflects the impact that the station has made on the lives of local youngsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/tygerburger\/find-your-latest-edition-of-tygerburger-here-20240527\" target=\"_blank\">Read the latest print edition of TygerBurger here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBorn in Khayelitsha and currently residing in Mfuleni, Mihlali faced challenges after school struggling to find opportunities and pursue his dream of becoming an artists due to financial constraints. In September 2023, he joined Radio Eerste River where he was given a chance to explore his passion for radio and story telling. Initially uncertain of his path, Mihlali has found a new sense of purpose and direction through the station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough his hard work and dedication he embraced the opportunity to become a radio presenter, channelling his creativity and energy into his programme <span>Kasi Flava<\/span>. Mihlali\u2019s story exemplifies the transformative impact of Radio Eerste River on the lives of individuals within the community,\u201d says Prins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
