Happy Birthday, America and BESI / Radio Kahuzi!
Nineteen years ago on July 4, 1991 the permit for our radio ministry was signed into law after many long hours, days and months of work on the technical papers required for the very first non-government radio station in Zaire, (previously known as the Belgian Congo) now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The permit was signed by both the Minister of State for Information and Press and the Minister of State for Agriculture. Their letters agreed to the technical papers proposing several of each: FM, medium wave, and shortwave broadcasting transmitters for Christian programming, as well as for agricultural and other rural-development broadcasting, including health, hygiene, and nutrition. They classified it as a Program of Priority Public Investments, allowing customs exemptions for importations of equipment.
God Bless America and God bless Central Africa.
