VOC is a Christian radio station founded in 1994, and it’s started its broadcast in 1995 at the hub of the beautiful Kingdom of Eswatini. The mission is to reach out to the people of Eswatini and beyond by preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ through mass media and spiritually nurturing them to bear fruit (holistically).
VOC broadcasts 24 hours a day live via 9 FM transmitters, internet broadcasting, and on-set top boxes, reaching the entire nation and beyond the Eswatini borders since they have spilled over into Mpumalanga and KwaZulu Natal Provinces in South Africa and Mozambique. VOCs are broadcast in both English and SiSwati. In addition to the two channels, they also have an app supported by Android smartphones, which makes them reach even more places.
