Celebrated media personality Alex Mwakideu has officially left Milele FM after landing a new job at Radio 47.

The seasoned journalist has been poached by Radio 47 to join his former colleague Emmanuel Mwashumbe on their breakfast show.

Mwakideu will be making a debut on Radio 47 on Monday, August 28, 2023.

The news of Mwakideu joining Radio47 was made public by his Cape Media and Radio47.

Last weekend, Mwakideu fueled speculations of joining Radio 47 after he was spotted at the station.

He went ahead to issue a statement, denying that he had joined the station, but now it appears it was just a blanket statement to confuse his critics.

 “Shukran kwa mwaliko @alikauleni jiunge nasi moja kwa moja ndani ya @radio47_ke kuanzia sasa hadi saa tano asubuhi. Mada ni Uanahabari na Elimu. Jamani wanablogu, mimi ni mwalikwa tu. 🙈🤣😂🤣🙈,” Mwakideu said.

However, MP Jalang’o joined the conversation, warning his best friend (Mwakidu) to stop playing mind games with people.

"Ati mgeni! Hii mchezo yako tunaijua! 😂😂," Jalang'o said.

Another section of those who reacted to Mwakideu’s post was quick to compel him to come clean on whether he has joined Radio 47 or Not.

Last week, Mwakideu confused his fans and followers after announcing his exit from Milele FM before making a U-turn on the same in hours.

"Yooooh! It's been 5 years ndani ya Milele FM. NIME ENJOY!!! Let me say ASANTE SANA to you, the Listener because without you, hakuna radio! You are the reason we do this thing called Radio.

"Let me also say Asante sana to all my colleagues, the ones I am leaving behind, and the ones who left Milele FM already. Thank you all. Tuliipiga, na Ikapigika!! Page closed. Onto the next one! Guess tunaenda wapi next....,” he said.

However, he cancelled his exit from Milele saying; “Yooh, bado niko Milele FM. Kumbe munanipenda hivi... aaawwweeee... Thank you for all the phone calls and text messages, we had a small misunderstanding, which has been sorted. So we are now good to go! Itambe Milele!,”.
