Renowned media personality Shatta Bway has officially exited Cape Media, marking the end of a dynamic chapter just over a year since he joined the station. Known for his charisma and deep connection with his audience, the seasoned broadcaster confirmed his departure through an emotional social media post shared over the weekend.
Shatta Bway, whose real name is Stephen Maunda Junior, joined Cape Media in March 2024 after parting ways with Royal Media Services. At Cape Media, he wore multiple hats—serving as a radio presenter on Radio 47, a TV host on TV47, and playing a key strategic role as Director of Projects and Strategy at Maybet, an affiliate media group initiative.
Reflecting on his media journey, Shatta Bway expressed heartfelt gratitude for the experiences and growth he gained during his time at Cape Media. He thanked his audience for walking with him through both personal and professional highs and lows, describing his fans as family. “Six years ago I switched on a microphone and introduced you to The Shatta Bway — and you guys became family instantly,” he wrote. “You’ve been with me through thick and thin, the highs and lows of life.”
Though he did not disclose the exact details of his next move, Shatta Bway gave a strong hint that he will be returning to daily radio. This announcement sparked excitement among his fans, many of whom have been eager to hear him back on air more regularly. “Mlisema Shatta rudi kwa Radio Daily na nimewasikiliza… so stay tuned for the next chapter. Mtapenda,” he shared, igniting anticipation among his loyal fan base, affectionately known as the Shatta Army.
Messages of encouragement and support poured in following his announcement. Fans and fellow media professionals praised his courage, consistency, and ability to connect with listeners in a way few can. Many commended him for taking bold steps in his career and pledged to follow him wherever he goes next.
One fan admired his bravery, noting that life is all about taking risks and expressing a desire to follow in his footsteps. Another remarked that Shatta’s presence on radio continues to inspire aspiring journalists and young people alike. Others expressed hopes of hearing him return to his former station or take up another prominent radio role soon.
Shatta Bway’s departure from Cape Media follows a growing trend of high-profile exits from the station. In May 2024, another well-known media figure, Willis Raburu, also left the station after an eight-month tenure. Raburu’s exit came shortly after being promoted to Director of Digital Services and Innovation. Before joining Cape Media, he had spent an impressive 13 years at Citizen TV, making his brief stint at TV47 a surprising yet influential shift in his career.
As Shatta Bway closes this chapter, fans eagerly await his next move. With his talent, experience, and strong fan support, his return to the airwaves is not just anticipated—it’s expected to make a major impact.
