ODDS & ENDS: Baboons Take YA FM Offline

Baboons are the reason Zimbabwe’s newest radio station was offline for about an hour on Wednesday morning.

The Zvishavane-based station is only a week into its life as the expansion of voices in Zimbabwe radio space and it looks as if the baboons did not get the memo.

According to the Chronicle, YA FM head Munyaradzi Hwengwerere said the baboons chewed through the cable and there were about five of them.

Not sure if that should count as them doing the whole freedom of expression thing. Mind you, they don’t pay taxes so screw them, the baboons that is.

Big shout out to YA FM -for getting back online so quickly.
