Betty Mudondo
On October 14, NTV unveiled a new news anchor. Betty Mudondo made her NTV Tonight debut.
Considering her arrival had been teased in newspapers and on TV, there was anticipation from viewers, something that has been a constant every time the TV is introducing a new face.
But Mudondo’s recruitment was somewhat unusual; for instance, as we settle into this interview in the NTV boardroom, she notes that she remembers doing five interviews in the room. See, initially she applied for a job as an assistant news producer, but in the process, a news anchor position became vacant.
In other words, she applied for a job while she was still being considered for another job within the same company.
Mudondo is a multimedia journalist and a voiceover artist; over the years, she has voiced documentary films and mini documentaries, and currently, she still voices stories at NTV, especially when she is not active in the field.
“I used to work at Vision Group, where, among other things, I was a news anchor on both radio and TV, as well as doing other things across the platforms such as radio, website, and TV,” she says.
But early this year, Urban TV was closed; she continued working with the digital and radio departments.
