AfrikkaRadio TIPTOPSTARSAfrikka Radio Congratulatory messages have continued to stream into the Afrikka Radio newsroom since the station emerged victorious in the best online radio category of the Universal Achievement Awards, UAA, that held in Columbus Ohio recently.

You are indeed the best and I’d stay clued to the station.” “Congrats Afrikka Radio, keep the flame burning.” “You deserve this prize Afrikka Radio, you have been so present in the community.” “Your shows speak volumes and I love listening to the station.
