Well, well, well, they say pay back hate with hate and love with love. This is exactly what former K24 journalist, Mwanaisha Chidzuga has done to her former colleagues who were recently shown the door.

The prime time news anchor was kicked out in a massive retrenchment by the Mediamax-owned TV station in October 2019, something that not only left them bitter but also embarrassed.

8 months down the line and Mwanaisha has decided it is the ripe hour. A day after K24 swept out its entire newsroom professionals, the celebrated Kiswahili news anchor who doubles up in the catering industry penned a disturbing letter to her colleagues.

Only to get a place at K24 same year in November and 4 years later, shown the exit door again.

Her letter

To her former colleagues at K24, Mwanaisha hoped they had learnt their lessons the hard way because well, she lost her job twice in a span of 5 years and she had been whipped enough by life.

To those who have lost jobs POLENI but take the lessons with you so that next time it happens you should be more than ready. My friends dont be too attached to employment or companies and institutions that never asked your input when they were setting up or laying the foundation in the first place.

Adding:

You were just one to making that dream a reality and to sustain it and make profits or whatever. And when the time came to replace you they never even thought twice or remembered your input but just saving what’s theirs.

¨K24 was a hobby. I have my main hustle¨ Mwanaisha Chidzuga´s savage response after being fired from K24

Media Max-owned TV station, K24 has laid off a large number of its employees, among them being senior journalists and editors which has caught many by surprise.

Cutbacks happen occasionally but you feel the pain once it hits closer home.

Celebrated Kiswahili news anchor, Mwanaisha Chidzuga is among the long list that was shown the exit from the local media station.

However, seems it did not bite her as deep because for her, that was but a side hustle, that stood in the way of her business.

During a recent interview with ´Kenyans.co.ke´, the media personality revealed that her contract was due to end come November 2019.

Main hustle

Additionally disclosing that she is a caterer by profession and her time at K24 was but on a part-time basis.

For me, K24 TV was part-time. I am a full-time caterer and I own three restaurants. K24 was a hobby and I used to work like 12 hours the whole month.

Further revealing that at K24, she would actually work for only 12 hours monthly as a news anchor. And now that her hands are free, she can now focus on her catering business.

For me. That was a side hustle, I have my main hustle. Right now, I have three restaurants to run, that is where my focus is and I am opening a new one soon, before the end of the year.

Seems her heart was solely meant for the catering business because when asked if she will reconsider going back to TV, she said, her 3 restaurants are now her key concentration.

Chidzuga became a part of the Mediamax-owned station 4 years ago, November 2015 after allegedly being fired by KTN while preparing to present a show.

Among senior names that were shown the door include:

Franklin Wambugu – Managing editor, Swahili. Ali Mtenzi – Deputy Managing Editor. Torome Tirike – Head of sports. Tony Timase – Head of Business. Franklin Macharia – Senior Reporter and Juma Bhalo – Swahili Anchor.
