Hitradio Namibia

Recently Hitradio Namibia has appeared on the Bulgarian mux at 11958V on Thor 6 at 1W. According to Wikipedia it seems to be the first commercial FM station in Namibia.

Anyone know why it's broadcasting to Europe? It's not bad audio quality either, unlike a lot of the other stations re-broadcasting to Europe via satellite.

I could understand if it was broadcasting on C-band to southern Africa, but this is on a Europe-only KU-band beam.
