MBARARA
After 22 years of dedicated service, renowned news anchor Mazimba Januario has left Radio West Newsroom. Januario, who has been a fixture in Western Uganda’s journalism scene, anchored his final bulletin on Friday evening, according to Radio West management.
“Mr. Mazimba Januario, eriizooba yaatushomera amakuru omurundi gw’ahamuheru,” which literally translates that Mr. Mazimba Januario has presented his final news bulletin.”
With a career spanning over two decades, Januario has been an integral part of Radio West since 2002, serving as a news anchor and announcer. He is also the founder of the acclaimed Mazimba Choir and has released several Catholic hymns.
Sources close to the broadcaster indicate that Mazimba has been courted by Radio Maria Mbarara, a Catholic faith-based media house, since 2017, and is likely to join the station in his next career move.
Radio West has expressed gratitude for Januario’s tireless service, saying, “Thank you, Jan, for serving your country selflessly. May God bless you with a prosperous future.”
Januario’s departure comes few days after Radio West celebrated 25 years of broadcasting in Uganda. His legacy and contributions to journalism in the region will undoubtedly be missed.
