After years of lighting up the airwaves with her vibrant energy and infectious laughter, celebrated radio host Sheila Kwamboka, popularly known as Kwambox, bid a heartfelt farewell to her listeners during an emotional final show on Kiss FM.
Reflecting on her last breakfast show, which aired on Tuesday, April 30, 2025, Kwambox took to Instagram to share her emotions. She said the show started off smoothly, and she maintained her usual charisma, delivering content with charm, but when it came time to say goodbye, the weight of the moment caught up with her.
“So for a moment, I thought I had everything under control; the show was going on okay, and then when it came to say goodbye, I broke down,” Kwamboka said.
Exit from Kiss FM
On April 29, 2025, Kwambox announced her departure, marking the end of a significant chapter in her life and career. In an emotional announcement shared on her social media, she reflected on her journey and the transformation ahead.
“Stepping into the new you requires letting go of the old you! Tomorrow is the end of a very significant chapter in my life! For 13 years, radio has been my identity! It’s time for change! Tomorrow, I will host my last show @kiss100kenya,” she announced.
Her departure from Kiss 100 Kenya, where she has hosted her popular show, signifies not just the end of a career milestone but the beginning of a new journey. Though she hasn’t yet revealed what her next move will be, the tone of her message hints at personal growth and bold reinvention.
Apart from Kwambox, her co-host Kerry Martin also announced his departure from radio in an emotional and heartfelt statement marking the end of an era. Kerry took to social media to reflect on her 11-year journey, from his humble beginnings to hosting one of Kenya’s top breakfast shows.
“As I hang up the mic tomorrow, I do it with a full heart. Grateful. Humbled. Ready. It’s been 11 years on the radio. From my first show on @homeboyzradio in 2014 to wrapping up Kenya’s biggest breakfast show on @kiss100kenya, this journey has been nothing short of a blessing,” Kerry announced.
“I have had the honour of doing what I love with people I love, friends who became family, and listeners who became part of my story. Every laugh, every debate, every early morning – I gave it everything. And you gave me more in return. Because this isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of something even bigger. Let’s go.”
