Revealed: Wanja Kavengi, A Ghost, Worked For Capital FM…But Who Paid Her? How Was She Paid?

The social media world was taken aback by the revelation that one of Facebook’s most accomplished writers and former Capital FM columnist Wanja Kavengi was, in fact, a parody account and Wanja Kavengi herself never existed.

Many had fallen for this girl, Wanja Kavengi’s writing prowess. She could litter the social media with captivating stories that drew wonderful reactions from the thrilled audience.

Funny enough, I was an ardent follower of Wanja Kavengi’s stories. I remember at some point my friend Etemesi, who is himself an ardent writer, tried reaching out to Wanja through facebook after being moved by her articles and of course her photos that attracted team mafisi and genuine wooers alike.

The revelation that Wanja Kavengi never existed and that the attractive photos we so craved to have as our wallpapers actually belonged to an American fashion blogger who goes by the name Iesha left me and many of her ardent followers totally heartbroken.

But as we feel duped and heavily tackled by this new revelations, Capital FM must be feeling the real pain after doing business with a ghost who actually never existed.

Wanja Kavengi’s writing skills prompted the media house to hire her to write for their blog. Ardent readers vividly remember the column Wanja’s Wall on Capital FM blog where Kavengi did what she knows best.

Well, after the revelation, Capital FM has since deleted the articles Wanja Kavengi wrote for them. But that does not mean we stop asking how Wanja landed a job with capital, one of the oldest FM radio stations in the country.

How did Capital FM reach out to Wanja Kavengi? Did they meet one on one? Did they know Wanja Kavengi was a parody account? Did they know Wanja Kavengi never existed? How did they pay Wanja Kavengi? Through cheque? M-Pesa? Western Union? How?

As the readers world is disappointed that one of the best writers actually never existed, these questions will linger on and on as we seek for answers.

Capital FM has since deleted Wanja’s articles.

Ghafla Kenya contacted Capital FM for comment over the same and all they could do was deny that Wanja ever wrote for them.
