Laura Walubengo: Leaving Capital FM after 12 years was so scaring 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Former Capital FM presenter Laura Walubengo is almost stepping into the fourth floor.

Walubengo recently took to social media to look back at her career before she turns 40 years saying that leaving Capital was one of the scariest moves she has ever taken.

“Moving from Capital to DStv was such a life changer for me. I grew so much and so quickly. My outlook, my ideas, my thought process, my dreams, the possibilities; everything just grew. It was so scary leaving Capital FM after 12.5yrs, and it wasn’t an active move but rather a door opening and I couldn’t peep – I was either in or out. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds. Even today! 6 days to 39” shared  Walubengo.

Movement

Walubengo left Capital in 2014 for South African firm MultiChoice as the Lead Digital Communications Specialist East Africa for DStv based in Kenya before she returned to Capital in 2017.

She left yet again in 2018, only after 7 months Laura called it quits again this time to join China Global Television Network (CGTN).

I tried committing suicide three times, I successfully failed – Chito Ndhlovu 

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Kiss FM radio presenter Chito Ndhlovu has come out to share that he almost committed suicide while fighting depression.

According presenter, depression had made him hate God and pushed him to suicide three times.

“There is a time I tried to take my own life three times. I tried three times, I successfully failed,” Chito posted on social media.

“I was so deeply depressed, I didn’t want to hear about God, I didn’t want to hear a verse, and it all didn’t make sense. At that point in my life, God felt far from me.”

Praying for a job

Ndhlovu went on to say that he was hustling for a job at Kiss FM then but things weren’t just falling in place. He said this left him in a low spirit but he kept asking God to come through for him.

“Something else that brought tears to my eyes is: I was called every every months for two years since 2014 by the programmes controller of Kiss FM to come and work for the organisation. Every time we were about to seal the deal, something stalled,” he said.

“I remember praying with my whole heart for God to open this door and it seemed far from me. The day my appointment letter was being printed, it was printed among over 100 termination letters. While I was getting a new job over 100 people had just lost a source of income.”

Adding:

“Man can’t do that, God is the only one who can do such a thing. And here I am living that answered prayer, the thing I prayed is where I am. It gets my spirit excited like I am here for the time. When you see me praising my God, it’s because there is a place I have come from that no man can take credit for.”
