The Springbok Radio Documentary Collection
The Springbok Radio Documentary Collection
On 1 May 1950, the first commercial radio station in South Africa,
Springbok Radio took to the airwaves broadcasting in both English and Afrikaans.
This followed almost 5 years of intense investigation by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)
and after consultations with both Lord Reith of the BBC and the South African Government it was decided
to introduce commercial radio in South Africa to supplement the SABC's existing public service
English and Afrikaans networks.
Just imagine the BBC in Johannesburg.
This page will contain many restored episodes of the popular Springbok Radio
series "Call Back The Past", hosted by Percy Sieff. The series started on
Springbok Radio in 1968 and continued until 1982, for a total of 708
episodes. Every Tuesday evening, Percy Sieff would take the listeners on a
historical tour of the 19th & 20th Centuries' using rare historical recordings,
both in voices and music.
All updates free, as with all our Collections.
Since Springbok has now come back to life with their old shows
we expect there will be a few more "found" episodes in the coming months.
