Voice of Namibia
Voice of Namibia (VoN) was a pirate radio station propagating Namibian independence, and the political mouthpiece of the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO) during the Namibian War of Independence. It operated from 1966 until Namibian independence in 1990 from different hosting stations in Sub-Saharan Africa.
==Background and establishment==
After World War I the League of Nations gave South-West Africa, formerly a German colony, to the United Kingdom as a mandate under the title of South Africa. When the National Party won the 1948 election in South Africa and subsequently introduced apartheid legislation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Formation of the South African Republic )〕 these laws also extended into South-West Africa which was the ''de facto'' fifth province of South Africa.
On 19 April 1960 SWAPO was founded as the successor of the Ovamboland People's Organization that was established in 1959. During 1962 SWAPO had emerged as the dominant nationalist organisation for the Namibian people, co-opting other groups such as the South West Africa National Union (SWANU), and in 1976 the Namibia African People's Democratic Organisation.〔Peter H. Katjavivi (A History of Resistance in Namibia ), Page 99, ISBN 0-86543-144-2〕 SWAPO used guerrilla tactics to fight the South African military. On 26 August 1966 the first major clash of the conflict took place, when a unit of the South African Police, supported by South African Air Force, exchanged fire with SWAPO forces at Omugulugwombashe. This date is generally regarded as the start of what became known in South Africa as the Border War.〔(BBC News - Timeline: Namibia )〕
Voice of Namibia was part of the propaganda wing of SWAPO. It started with a one-hour program called ''Namibian Hour'' that was broadcast from Tanzania in 1966. Radio Zambia began relaying the ''Namibian Hour'' as from 1973, and the following year the program was renamed ''Voice of Namibia''. Luanda joined the hosting stations in 1976. Further stations hosting ''Voice of Namibia'' were Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, the Voice of Revolutionary Ethiopia, and Voice of the Revolution from Congo-Brazzaville.
