While Limpopo citizens are still celebrating the establishment of Capricorn FM, a community radio station is raving mad.
This follows claims that the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) had allocated the same frequency to two different stations.

Icasa did not respond to Sowetan's inquiries.
