Former Capital Fm Dj Alex Ndawula has died

Former Capital Fm Dj Alex Ndawula has died. According to his friend, Bright Baba, who also works at Kisementi -based Capital Fm, confirmed his death.

Bright posted on his twitter handle, ” I do not know how to say this. I just received bad news about passing on of a big brother Alexander Ndawula at Nsambya Hospital. Alex, may your soul Rest in Eternal Peace.”

True, Dj Alex Ndawula has been unwell for some months, actually over a year now. The Drone Media published news about his sickness and treatment at St. Francis Nsambya Hospital in January 2, 2021. The legend DJ has been bedridden for one and ahalf years.

Dj Alex Ndawula admitted to Nsambya Hospital

The Drone Media  was reliably informed that the former Capital Fm Dj Alex Ndawula was undergoing specialized treatment at St. Francis, Nsambya Hospital.

The source then could not rule out the possibility of COVID-19, but was quick to comment on Alex Ndawula’s lifestyle.  According to the source, the veteran radio personality was a regular client at Serenity Rehabilitation Centre at Bwebajja on Entebbe Road.

Ndawula was always forced to go to this secret rehabilitation centre due to his excessive consumption of alcohol.

Alex Ndawula quit the radio four years ago. He had worked for over 20 years. Hussein Lumumba Amin said this about Dj Alex Ndawula:

I just learnt that Alex Ndawula is quitting the radio industry after more than 20 years. Sad.
I worked with him at Capital radio for a few years where I was Production Manager and technical producer for the Capital Gang political talk show.
Whenever Alex was sick and unable to come to work, I would sit in for him especially in the Saturday night programme. Actually most listeners could not tell the difference and thought Alex was in the studio.
But on a serious note, Alex set the highest standards of presentation especially on his daily morning show, that to this day, presenters (including in TV) are yet to attain.
