Gerry JacksonMonday 14 January 2002
Three weeks ago Radio Africa started broadcasting to Zimbabwe from a secret location in a London suburb.

It was set up by Gerry Jackson who realised that her career as a radio producer in Zimbabwe was under threat when her independent radio station was shut down by armed guards after only six days on air.
Gerry now heads up a team of exiled radio producers. It's the only non state run radio station for Zimbabweans and has already caused a stir with its criticism of the abuses of Mugabe's regime.
Gerry Jackson tells Jenni why the new radio station is so popular back home.
