These pairs of radio presenters have become synonymous with the Kikuyu radio culture, winning over loyal followers with their wit, charm, and impeccable chemistry. From the morning drive show to the midday program and beyond, these duos have formed an unbreakable bond, delivering a unique listening experience that keeps audiences hooked.
In this article, WoK delves into the fascinating world of Kikuyu radio and explore the magic behind these dynamic duos that have become an integral part of the Kikuyu community.
Man Simo & Katta
The duo of Man Simo and Katta has perhaps maintained the longest invincible chemistry on Kikuyu radio, which has seen them make inroads across all major Kikuyu radio stations. From their days at KBC’s Coro FM to Inooro FM and now Kameme FM, Man Simo & Katta have proved inseparable and unrivaled kings of Kikuyu radio drive shows.
The ever-hilarious Simon Mburu (Man Simo) and James Wang’ombe (Katta) are undoubtedly some of the most entertaining radio presenters in the country. Having worked together for over 12 years, the two Kameme FM drive show “Humuka” presenters serve their listeners what they’ve been missing since the start of the day.
Their comical approach to real-life issues will leave you craving for more hours to listen to them. Such is their chemistry that at times, it is even hard to distinguish their voices while on air!
Gathaiya Dennis & Ngoni Wa Thuita
Ngoni wa Thuita, popularly known as Olematope, is a comical storyteller whose imitation skills will leave you in stitches. He co-hosts the afternoon “Kwigangara” show alongside Gathaiya Dennis on Kameme FM. The two have a unique music selection where they set different music genres for specific days.
On Monday, they play Kikuyu Gospel Music (“Kigooco Monday”). On Tuesday, they serve Country music. Wednesdays are set aside for Kikuyu secular music, Thursdays for Old school music, and Fridays exclusively for reggae music.
The seamless flow between their banter and the well-curated music selection makes their show an absolute delight for Kikuyu radio enthusiasts.
Muthoni Wa Kirumba and Comedian Mogaka
Fans are always debating whether these two co-hosts of Kameme FM’s mid-morning show, “Canjamuka,” have a good on-air chemistry or otherwise. But we can at least agree that Mogaka’s endless humor blended with Muthoni’s chattiness and laughter makes the two a force to reckon with.
Their vibrant energy, combined with engaging conversations and exciting segments, makes “Canjamuka” a must-listen program for Kikuyu radio lovers.
Wakarindi wa Ndithi and Kihenjo
The return of Kihenjo to Kikuyu radio airwaves alongside celebrated Kikuyu radio presenter Wakarindi wa Ndithi has generated significant buzz among their fans. The duo will be hosting the midday show named “Kenga Kenga” from 10 AM to 1 PM at Muoroto FM.

Njogu wa Njoroge and Henry Kissinger
