RSG

Radio Sonder Grense (RSG) is one of the few radio stations that still feels genuinely connected to its audience. Founded in 1937 and operated by the South African Broadcasting Corporation, RSG broadcasts mainly in Afrikaans, with occasional English interviews and business discussions. Its format combines News, Talk, Business, and selected Top 40 entertainment, while FM frequencies across the 88.8-108 FM range allow the station to reach from the suburbs of Johannesburg to isolated farming communities in the Free State and Northern Cape.

That slower and more thoughtful style is what makes RSG different from many commercial stations. Programs such as Monitor, Spektrum, and Spitstyd focus on long-form political interviews and analysis rather than short headlines repeated every few minutes. Meanwhile, RSG Landbou has become an essential source of information for many South African farmers because it covers grain market prices, drought conditions, livestock issues, and severe weather alerts that can directly affect daily business decisions.

Another reason the station keeps such a loyal audience is its presenters. Amore Bekker is especially known for her warm, conversational style and natural interaction with callers, while Sue Pyler-Slabbert remains closely associated with radio drama and cultural programming. Together, they help RSG feel less like background media and more like part of everyday South African life.
