SW Radio is officially closing down on 10 August 2014

Today marks the end of an important era for SW Radio. SW Radio is officially closing down after 13 years of operation.

The SW Radio has decided to stop broadcasting on shortwave and website update entirely.

This morning, Founder and Editor Gerry Jackson shared the following message on SW Radio website:

"It is with regret that SW Radio Africa announces that it is closing down. We recently stopped our shortwave transmissions but have continued to provide broadcasts via our website and other formats, but these too will cease.

"We'd like to thank the organisations and individuals who have supported us for the past 13 years and the contributors to our programs who have given so willingly of their time and expertise.

"In particular we'd like to thank our listeners, who have shared their lives, hopes and dreams and helped us to tell the story of Zimbabwe's sad decline to the world.

"We hope that one day Zimbabwe finally has a government who understands that its sole responsibility is to ensure a safe, healthy, prosperous life for every man, woman and child in the country.

"Our first broadcast was on 19th December 2001.

"Our last broadcast will be on 10th August 2014.

It's been a privilege.
