My childhood dream was to become one of those invisible guys with sweet,
soothing voices on the radio. I loved radio with all my soul, heart, and
strength. The likes of Leonard Mambo, Elizabeth Obege, Jamila Kasalu, Omuga
Kabisai, Kaka JOS on the news, and sports commentator just to mention, but a
few could make you sit the whole day just listening to them. That was KBC for
you. Ohh and let me not forget, Peter Okocha of BBC was also one of my
favourites (He still presents for your information). I was so much attached to
radio that one couldn’t think I knew the presenter personally.
How can I forget the
lunchtime news and the miziki ya adhuhuri? As the bell for
lunch break rings, we rush for the gate to get some lunch from our homesteads.
As you reach home, the miziki ya adhuhuri greets your ears
with Aziz Abdi’s Pesa ni sabuni ya roho. I would eat hurriedly
to save my little butts from those painful strokes of canes.
