Ali Manzu, a renowned KTN News Swahili presenter, has denied reports of syphilis hitting journalists at the station.
In a statement, Manzu described the reports as fake and misleading.
He insisted that everyone was fine at the station contrary to social media reports that a sexually transmitted infection had affected journalists at the station.
“Thanks for your calls, DMs and even those we met this past week asking about SGL syphilis issue. We are all fine. No one has any Kaswende, kisonono nor mkanda wa jeshi. It’s sad that some people can sit and come up with such fake news of insolvency yet we are all putting efforts to stay afloat. SGL will not go down, we will get back soon,” he stated.
“As much as we have challenges, the young and energetic staff, are striving to make ends meet, collectively. It’s a painful process, but we cannot fall for fake news. Focus. If you feel you are on top of the cape, maintain, you’ll like it when we change. Slowly but steadily sure of the moves. Again, we assure you that we don’t have kaswende, kisonono nor mkanda wa jeshi,” Manzu added.
