Radio 2000 is a South African national radio station. Owned by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC)[1] and based in Johannesburg, it broadcasts nationally between 97.2 and 100 FM. It is one of several radio stations in South Africa that broadcasts live sport reports.[2]

When it was established in July 1986, Radio 2000 would "simulcast" the original soundtracks of television programmes which were dubbed in Afrikaans, thereby catering for English speakers who wished to watch them in the original language.[3]
