Ikwekwezi FM, previously know as Radio Ndebele, was founded on the 1st January 1983. It first hit the airwave on the 1st April 1983 on 93.6MHz (Frequency) via Nylstroom Transmitter. The first continuity presenter was David Malatsi and the first news reader was Mandla Masanabo. 

The Program Format Educates, Informs and Entertains with the aim to promoting isiNdebele language to a written language. 

The Radio Station participates in language development through its program format and participated in the then isiNdebele Language Board by designating a representative to attend all language sittings. 

In 1985 when isiNdebele language was first introduced in schools at Sub Standard A (Grade 1)the station was represented by Batjeleni Skosana and Peter Mahlangu among other first authors who were Language Board members.

The station logo was then SIKHULUMA ISIKHETHU meaning: WE SPEAK OUR LANGUAGE. In 1986 the station logo was changed to IKULETHELA UBUHLE OBUNETHABO meaning: Radio Ndebele BRINGS COLOUR INTO YOUR LIFE. 

In 1996, Radio Ndebele was changed to be IKWEKWEZI FM (meaning the star) and the slogan was LAPHO SIKHONA KUNOKUKHANYA (WHERE EVER WE ARE THERE IS LIGHT). 

It was then that we had Mr Oupa Mahlangu as the first black Station Manager, who was also one of the first announcers. His successor is the current station manager,Mr Phillip Mahlangu who also went through the various ranks of the station.
