Tru FM is a South African commercial radio station based in the Eastern Cape. The station is unique in the SABC PBS stable as it is the only station primarily targeting the youth with two languages of broadcast, IsiXhosa and English.[1]
The station is a successor of CKI fm[2] which itself was formerly known as Radio Ciskei. The station was rebranded and relaunched in 2008 [3]
trufm runs an annual presenter search called tru talent search. Some of the winners include Boyz Mpunzi in 2016 and Ntombozuko Balintulo.
