Radio Jambo presenter Anita Raey recounts being a ‘chokara’

Radio Jambo presenter Anita Raey has come a long way from being a street urchin to the top presenter she is now. The journey has been tough and engulfed with a lot of emotions.

Recently, she opened up about the journey giving a very emotional story of how she landed in the streets.

“I was so rebellious because I was raised by a very harsh mother. I started running away from home at a very tender age of 13 years and started living in the streets. I lived in the streets of Nairobi with the worst people in the society. Those were my friends. They used to treat me like I am the baby in their crew. You are the one who carried the drugs for them,” she said. 

Adding:

“Then one day I was coming in with one of them, so we are at Moi Avenue, then someone hit me from the back, nkafikiri ni mwizi and I was like, anataka nini. I fell down and became unconscious. I did not have money but anyway I had drugs with me. They dragged us towards Jevanjee. They were two guys and both were from my tribe, I understood all what they were planning for me. So they raped me and that was the worst thing in my life. I was so scared and I did not have the energy to fight back.”

Exclusive: Massawe Japanni quits Radio Jambo and yes, money had everything to do with it

Reports reaching the Ghafla newsdesk is that Massawe Japanni has quit Radio Jambo.

The radio star who does the mid-morning show from 10AM to 2PM hasn’t been at work for the last one week and we can assure you she’s not coming back.

The last time she was at work was on March 31st where she made this post on Facebook:

Massawe Japanni

Her social media pages have been inactive since then.

As we have gathered from a close source, she had an altercation with her bosses when she asked for a pay hike which was part of her agreement when she joined Radio Jambo from Milele FM.

That promise has always being procrastinated with the management alleging the station is not in a financial position to accommodate her demands and thus she should wait a little while longer.

Apparently she got tired of waiting and thus called it quits.

On other matters radio, Kazungu Matano popularly known as Otoyo finally handed over his resignation at Milele as he seeks to replace Jalango at Radio Maisha.
