GaySA Radio is a Pretoria-based online radio service dedicated to South Africa’s LGBTQ+ community and listeners across Africa. Founded in 2016 around Pretoria Pride, the non‑profit station streams a 24/7 mix of music, talk and community programming that centres queer lives and culture. Its schedule pairs contemporary hits with talk shows and interviews covering health and mental well‑being, law and policy, relationships, spirituality, entertainment and Pride events. The station also carries established queer podcasts and magazine shows—including This Way Out, Rainbow Remix and Friends of Dorothy—alongside original strands such as GAY SA Interviews and Back Trax.
Volunteer‑led and listener‑funded, GaySA Radio operates as a registered NPO and has run public fundraising drives to keep the service on air. Broadcasting online and via mobile apps enables the station to reach audiences beyond broadcast licences and national borders, providing a consistent platform for voices that remain marginalised across much of the continent. The team engages with local LGBTQ+ initiatives in Pretoria and uses on‑air storytelling to spotlight personal journeys and community resources. With the tagline “Where you are family,” GaySA Radio positions itself as an inclusive audio home for queer South Africans and allies—amplifying local music, documenting community history and offering practical information for safer, more visible queer lives. Media coverage in 2016 highlighted its role as a rare dedicated LGBTQ+ broadcaster on the continent. The organisation also curates listings for LGBTQ‑owned businesses to connect listeners with inclusive services.
