Lesedi FM Contact Details

Verified 1 September 2026Official source onlyIndependent directoryReport a wrong number

Lesedi FM is the SABC’s Sesotho-language radio station, broadcasting from Bloemfontein and Johannesburg. The contact details below were read from the Lesedi FM contacts page on 2 September 2026.

Official contact channels

The studio line and the WhatsApp number are different channels for different moments. 086 000 3084 is the on-air studio line for calling in to a live show; 083 284 0008 takes WhatsApp messages, song requests and comments. SMS entries go to the short code 38596, which is charged at the rate published for the campaign rather than a standard SMS.

The station mailbox sits on sabc.co.za while advertising uses lesedifm.co.za. Both are correct – the station is an SABC service with its own commercial identity.

What this organisation provides

Lesedi FM broadcasts music and talk programming in Sesotho, with a show line-up and presenters, podcasts, a Top 30 chart, competitions, events and merchandise published on its site.

Competitions are the most common reason people contact a station, and the rules matter. Lesedi FM publishes competition rules separately – read them before entering, because entry mechanics, closing times and prize claim deadlines are set there, and a prize unclaimed by the published deadline is usually forfeited.

The station will not ask a winner to pay a fee to release a prize. Any request for payment, banking details or an OTP to claim a radio prize is fraud.

Address and operating information

Lesedi FM does not publish a street address or office hours on its contacts page. The studio line is staffed while shows are on air, and the schedule runs through the night – the published line-up shows programming from midnight onward.

The station operates across two cities, so the studio number reaches whichever site is broadcasting rather than a single fixed office.

Support and escalation routes

Use the contact form and pick the right department – general queries, advertising or marketing – or email the station directly. The form caps messages at 180 characters, so a detailed complaint is better sent by email.

If the station does not resolve a complaint, Lesedi FM is an SABC service, so it escalates to the SABC. Broadcasting complaints – about content, accuracy or advertising standards – go to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa, and licensing matters to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa. As a public broadcaster, maladministration may also be taken to the Public Protector.
