In 1997 a group of young and enthusiastic youth came together to make a difference in their community. They saw radio as a tool to educate those around them, motivate people to change their situation and stimulate economic growth and community development.

After six years of organizing and negotiating, Thetha FM was granted a four-year broadcasting license in September 2003 by the Independent Communication Authority of South Africa (Icasa).

On 15 November 2005, Thetha FM based at Isikhumbuzo Secondary school in Orange farm (City of JHB region G) – Officially began broadcasting across the region on the frequency 100.6 Mhz
