Who was Catherine Kasavuli?

Catherine Kasavuli was a Kenyan news presenter.

In 1980, Kasavuli began her career as a radio continuity announcer at the Voice of Kenya, afterwards known as KBC.

After hearing her read from the Bible and pray at supper, her uncle gave her job application advice. She had just turned 18 at the time.

Later, in 1985, Kasavuli would go over to television at the business. After working for two years without any prior professional training, Kasavuli enrolled in the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication.

Catherine joined the founding group of KTN, the nation’s first privately owned television station, in March 1990. She changed the station’s pre-recorded format and was the first anchor to broadcast live.

Kasavuli worked with KTN for 17 years before leaving in 2007 to join Royal Media Services-owned Citizen TV.

She was a part of the widespread exodus that saw several prominent news anchors, including Swaleh Mdoe and Louis Otieno, leave the TV station owned by the Standard Group for Citizen TV.

Later, she worked for Royal Media Services, Citizen TV’s parent business, as the corporate affairs manager. Kasavuli left the spotlight in 2015 to work on a production.

Eight years after quitting television, Kasavuli made a triumphant return to Kenyan television screens towards the end of July 2021, anchoring weekend news for the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC).

She said,

“I wanted to come to KBC to train anchors to hone their skills but never expected an offer of this magnitude”

in an interview following her comeback.

Despite being a well-known public figure, the ever-smiling, soft-spoken anchor preferred to keep her private life a secret, unlike her successors in the Kenyan media industry.
