Revolutionaries have long embraced the potential of radio as a tool for ideation and emancipation. As Ndlovu (2014) indicates radio has the power to win the hearts and minds of the people, even establish a mandate to govern them. Radio can transcend geographical and political boundaries, making it a vital tool with which to penetrate restricted environments and reach out even to illiterate people, through a language they understand, in order to propagate ideologies that are pivotal in establishing a desired political order. This commentary brings together a few of the key witnesses to this process in pre-liberation Zimbabwe when radio broadcasted from outside the tightly controlled colonial system that was Rhodesia was able to engage the populace in an unsanctioned dialogue that was ultimately to lead to the successful overthrow of the status quo.

广播作为津巴布韦解放斗争中的招募媒介

革命者长期以来一直将无线电技术作为思想和解放工具的潜力。正如恩德洛夫（Ndlovu，2014年）所言，广播具有赢得人民心灵的力量，甚至可以确立统治人民的权力。广播可以超越地理和政治边界，使其成为一种重要工具，可以通过他们所理解的语言来穿透受限的环境，甚至可以使文盲达到人们的目的，从而传播对建立理想的政治秩序至关重要的意识形态。这篇评论集结了解放前津巴布韦这一进程的一些主要见证者，当时广播是在受到严格控制的殖民地系统之外进行的，当时罗得西亚能够使民众参与未经批准的对话，最终导致成功推翻的现状。
