Zawadi Mudibo Replaces Larry Madowo As BBC Africa Business Editor

On Friday, October 30, Journalist Zawadi Mudibo was confirmed as the BBC Africa Business Editor, replacing media personality Larry Madowo.

BBC Africa Programmes Editor, Newton Ndebu, announced in an internal memo that Mudibo would fill the position for the next 12 months.

“He is a talented and dedicated journalist, with over a decade’s experience reporting Business News in Africa. 

“I would also like to express my gratitude to the BBC Africa Business leadership team who, have alongside Zawadi, led the BBC Africa business teams through a protracted leadership transition,” read the memo.

Larry Madowo became one of Kenya’s most popular figures during his time on NTV as host of the Friday night show, The Trend.

In July last year, Madowo took a one-year career break to study economics at Columbia University, New York.

After his studies, he resigned, taking on a new job as the United States (US) correspondent for the broadcaster.
