Nation Media Group (NMG) has tapped into talent formerly from Cape Media Limited (housing TV47 and Radio 47) as part of a shakeup targeting the weekday programming schedule of its radio station, Nation FM.

Over the weekend, the media house introduced a new lineup of high-profile presenters. To begin with, popular radio host Steve Jacob Maunda alias Shatta Bway, joined the station days after announcing his exit from Cape Media.

Recognised for his vibrant energy and magnetic presence, Shatta is now stepping into the Rockers Nation slot, which airs weeknights from 8:00 p.m. to midnight. This marks his third major gig in radio, following previous roles at Radio Citizen and Radio 47.

The presenter, who joined the media group in March 2024 as a Radio 47 host after moving from Royal Media Services, announced his departure in a social media post on Saturday, May 3.

"I have officially left Cape Media (Radio 47). I leave with no regrets, only gratitude and a genuine desire to see Cape Media even higher," he said in an X post.

Looking back on his six-year career, Shatta Bwoy also thanked his fans for their unwavering support throughout his time in the media industry.

"Mlisema Shatta Rudi kwa Radio Daily na nimewasikiliza so stay tuned for the next Chapter.You will like it," he stated, adding "Shatta Generals, 6 Years ago I switched on a Microphone and introduced you to The Shatta Bway and you Guys became Family instantly. You've been with me through thick and thin, the Highs and Lows of Life. Today I have made another decision."

In another recruitment, award-winning media personality Claudia Naisabwa, who was a presenter at TV47, joined Nation FM in what is her first venture into the radio scene. She has been announced as the host of their new mid-morning show, “Vibe Shift,” which she will co-host with Brian Aseli, who is transitioning from the Evening Drive slot. The show will air from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
