Radio presenter Alex Mwakideu has joined Radio 47 owned by Cape Media Limited. 

Mwakideu will join Emmanuel Mwashumbe starting next week on Monday from 6 AM - 10 AM.  

This comes barely two weeks after Mwakideu announced his exit from Milele FM only to make a U-turn and claim it was a misunderstanding. 

“It's been 5 years ndani ya Milele FM. Nime enjoy. Let me say ahsante sana to you, the listener because without you, hakuna radio. You are the reason we do this thing called Radio. Thank you all. Page closed. Onto the next one! Guess tunaenda wapi next,” said Mwakideu. 


He would later tweet," 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." 

This journalist can now confirm that Alex has quit Mediamax Network for Radio 47. 

Mwakideu began his media career as a news presenter for Mombasa-based radio station Baraka FM. 

He then moved to Germany and worked for Duestche Welle (DW) for a period of six months. His contract was to be extended but Mwakideu declined and returned to Kenya.
