Alex Mwakideu Departs Milele FM for Radio 47

After five years at Milele FM, popular radio presenter Alex Mwakideu has announced his departure from the station. He will be joining Radio 47, a media outlet under Cape Media that also operates TV47.

Mwakideu will be co-hosting the morning breakfast show alongside Emmanuel Mwashumbe, known by the alias Mbappe. The show is scheduled to debut on Monday, August 28, 2023, running from 6 am to 10 am.

Mwakideu’s move to Radio 47 comes just a week after he addressed his listeners on social media, reassuring them of his continued presence on Milele FM. However, he later clarified that there had been a misunderstanding with the management of Mediamax, the parent company of Milele FM, but that it had since been resolved.

In a statement, Radio47’s management confirmed that Mwakideu’s move to the station was imminent.

“Alex Mwakideu joins Cape Media-owned Radio47 starting this Monday. He will be hosting the ‘Breakfast 47’ show alongside Emmanuel Mwashumbe,” the company said in a statement.

Mwakideu’s journey in the radio industry saw him make a significant transition from Radio Maisha, where he had spent eight years, to Milele FM in August 2018. At Radio Maisha, he hosted the morning show, which was subsequently taken over by comedian Captain Otoyo.

Mwakideu’s decision to join Radio 47 marks him as the latest in a growing list of notable media personalities who have aligned themselves with both Radio 47 and its sister entity, TV47. Just recently, former Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu made his debut on TV47, where he will be hosting a show every Friday at 10 pm.

Mwakideu is a highly experienced and respected radio presenter with a proven track record of success. His move to Radio 47 is a major coup for the station and is sure to boost its audience numbers. I am confident that he will be a great addition to the team and I look forward to hearing him on the airwaves.
