Brian Mulondo, one of Uganda’s most recognisable radio voices, has left KFM after eight years, marking the end of an era for one of the country’s most influential radio brands.
Mulondo’s exit was confirmed through a tribute by Joseph Beyanga, his former boss at FM, who described him as “probably the most consequential signing of KFM in the last two decades”.
Beyanga praised Mulondo’s work ethic, professionalism and selflessness, painting a picture of a presenter who consistently put the programme and the station above personal comfort or individual acclaim.
Mulondo joined KFM in 2017, a period when the station was seeking to refresh its sound and strengthen its flagship show, D’Mighty Breakfast, amid stiff competition from rival radio stations in Kampala. Over the years, Mulondo became a central pillar of the station’s programming, working with three different female co-presenters from different generations and backgrounds.
According to Beyanga, those partnerships were not without tension, but Mulondo was credited with handling them with humility and professionalism, always prioritising the quality of the show.
Before KFM, Mulondo had already built a solid reputation in Ugandan broadcasting.
He started his broadcast career with a lifestyle TV show called Better Living which aired on NTV for one season. He was later chosen as the presenter for Trick stars, where he showcased different ways drifters use to con people of their money and property. Trick stars which aired on Sundays at 7:30pm made Brian a household name was chosen by MTN as its Uganda Brand Ambassador for the World Cup 2010.
He later joined Morning at NTV as a pioneer host. His remarkable delivery on Morning at NTV earned him a role as an anchor of Prime Time News in November 2016 with Josephine Karungi.
In April 2017 he joined KFM’s premium breakfast show D’Mighty Breakfast which he has been co-hosting with Faiza fabz
Mulondo’s departure leaves a significant gap at KFM. For nearly a decade, his voice and style helped define the station’s sound and identity.
