Regarding RAG's choice of Mwalimu Rachel, Khafafa extolled the virtues of both Rachel and the company to which he saluted the latter for allowing budding presenters both digital and mainstream to thrive.

"I think Radio Africa has provided the greatest online talent from Maina Kageni, Mwalimu King'ang'i. So people realize that Radio Africa is the place to realise their air potential and talents," he added.

It is yet to be established which station she will be joining in the Radio Africa company known for popular radio stations such as Kiss FM, Classic 100 and East FM as well as the Star Newspaper.
