NTV suffered a huge blow on Wednesday, December 25, as one of its top news anchor - Doreen Majala, called it quits on live TV.
Speaking in what turned out to be her last news broadcast on Christmas day, she gracefully thanked her viewers as well as employers for giving her the platform to express her passion.
She left the station after 1 and a half years of hosting the Sunday prime time news.
"Good evening good people! It’s been an honor gracing your screens on NTV informing and educating you through the news. A big Thank you to the Nation Media Group management for the platform & to my colleagues, for the wonderful experience," she stated.
Following the exits of popular anchors such as Trevor Ombija from the same station, Doreen´s Sunday bulletin rose to fame thus making her a household name.
A lawyer by profession, Doreen embarked on her journey in the media back in 2016 and honed her craft at Ebru TV.
During her tenure at NTV, she started a foundation, The Doreen Majala foundation, which focuses on education.
"It works towards creating equal learning opportunities for every child by providing basic learning materials to children in underprivileged schools,” she stated in a past interview.
She joined NMG at a time when it was re-branding and was thus unnveiled alongside other media stars such as Harith Salim, Jane Ngoiri and Dan Mule were Swaleh Salim, Nuru Abdulaziz and Kaltun Jama.
Doreen is pursuing a Master’s degree in arbitration, a field she has countlessly refered to as one of her key passions.
In regards to her next move, the journalist remained coy, opting to keep that particular card close to her chest.
