Voice of the Cape (VOC) broadcasts on the 100.MHz FM frequency on an effective radiated power (ERP) of 250W from Tygerberg and on FM 95.8 MHz on an ERP of 20W from Paarl and Worcester in the Boland areas. As of 1 September 2007,
VOC broadcasts on 90.7 and 90.9FM, extending the footprint to the two oceans area. As of 1 September 2006, the station also began broadcasting via the internet from
www.vocfm.co.za.
The station’s vision is to: inform and educate the community about Islam; report on matters of cultural, political, social and economic significance; provide a unique Islamic perspective through its reporting that is recognised and sought after in the media industry; provide the best Islamic web portal in South Africa; and to be involved in community outreach programmes.
VOC became the first Muslim radio station in South Africa when a special events license was granted to the station in Ramadan/January 1995. Subsequent temporary broadcast licenses were granted, permitting the station to broadcast for 24 hours, sharing the frequency with another Muslim radio station. In June 2002, the station was awarded a four-year license on the same basis, which has been successfully renewed in 2006.
