Radio Emmanuel 89 FM, of the Catholic Radio Network (CRN), in Torit town of Eastern Equatoria State went off air on Tuesday due to the damage caused on the transformer.
Station Director Fr. John Opi Severino told Radio Bakhita that the Station experienced power fluctuation when the generator and solar power were switched on ending up to burn the transformer.
He adds that he cannot determine the resumption of Radio Emmanuel broadcast without assistance from CRN.
Program Presenter William Comboni Izoo, who was in the studio when the incident occurred, narrowly escaped electric shock during the system breakdown at the station.
Meanwhile Emeritus Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Torit foretells in Wau, Western Bahr El Ghazal State that peace is near, urging South Sudanese to prepare their hearts to embrace the nearing peace.
Emeritus Bishop Paride Taban reminds South Sudanese to pray for unity, Voice of Hope reported.
The bishop reiterates that the Catholic Church is one and that Christians should uphold oneness in the church as Jesus Christ instructed.
Bishop Taban says Jesus is the prince of peace, always declaring “peace be with you” and that people should adhere to his declaration.
