On Tuesday, 29 April 2025, popular radio presenter Sheila Kwamboka, widely known as Kwambox, announced her exit from Kiss 100 FM, where she had been co-hosting the morning show.
The announcement was made during the live broadcast and confirmed later on her social media platforms, leaving fans shocked and speculating about her next move. Kwambox did not reveal the reasons behind her departure, but she expressed gratitude to her listeners and colleagues.
Kwambox, a household name in Kenya’s media industry, joined Kiss 100 in early 2023, quickly becoming a favourite for her bold personality, humour, and engaging radio presence. Alongside her co-host Chito Ndhlovu, she revitalised the breakfast show, drawing in a younger audience and redefining urban morning radio content.
In her farewell message, Kwambox said, “It’s been an amazing ride. I’ve grown, laughed, and connected deeply with so many Kenyans through the airwaves. This isn’t goodbye to radio, just to this chapter.”
Speculation is rife that she may be moving to a rival media house or exploring opportunities in television, digital media, or even politics, given her dynamic public presence and outspoken views. Neither Kiss 100’s parent company, Radio Africa Group, nor Kwambox herself has disclosed her next step.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of support and sadness, praising her authenticity and ability to address real life issues on air. Many recalled memorable moments from the show, highlighting her role in advocating for mental health and women’s empowerment.
Kwambox’s departure marks a significant shift for Kiss 100, which has seen several high profile exits in recent years. As listeners wait to hear where she will land next, one thing is clear: Sheila Kwamboka has left a lasting mark on Kenyan radio and isn’t done yet.
