Christine Mawadri, the former Capital Fm radio presenter, who is the CEO Stream Afrique, a comunications and broadcasting consultancy, says she enjoys life. She said this while celebrating her birthday.
The beautiful Lugbara said, “So…the other day somebody on the ”get to know…” asked… “what do you enjoy doing?” I was at a lose for what to respond. Effortlessly though, I thought…”I enjoy Life and every Fun Stuff that comes with it. You see… I am still discovering me and what I Like or Enjoy…”
“Nature’s Seasons are a great way to understand that we are always evolving so as to appreciate our growth potential… To be Our Best and Greatest Version…”
“Yes, I have discovered so many things I enjoy to do in my quest to Live this ‘Gift of Life’ and will avoid suffocation in a “box” lest I miss all the Fun Stuff to Learn and Experience!”
The beautiful Lugbara concluded, “Thank You All, for the Lovely Thoughts on My Birthday! Here is to you All and to life. May we live it well! LOVE NYINGI MUNO! NB: I must have come off as a ka complex creature bambi, Christ!” That is Christine Mawadri for you. Any comment?
The opening of airwaves in 1992 was an epoch-marking event in Uganda. Soon afterwards, there was a flood of FM stations all fighting for the attention of the listener. This was in a way a good thing because it meant those who could not cut the grade had to fall off the line. FM radio brought with it a new kind of celebrity whose claim to fame was really the effect their voice had on the listeners.
Christine Mawadri-Olok could be defined in those days as the definitive voice of radio. Though she was not seen, the number of those who thought they knew her, believed in her and could do anything for her was big, at least going by the frequent calls from admirers on her shows.
When Mawadri-Olok’s voice debuted on Radio Sanyu in 1993, the year the station was opened; there was probably no expectation for what was to come. Uganda was used to Radio Uganda and its officious presenters who many times sounded tired. To give even more credence to this, there were breaks in the programming where the presenter would say, in a guttural voice, “We shall take a break to rest.” Apart from the indefatigable Ssalongo John, many listeners will remember the presenters with not a little difficulty.
