Zahara Totto joins Makula with new show, reveals why she left Next Media

DJ Zatto as she is best known, this Tuesday afternoon unveiled a new show that she will be hosting on Makula on StarTimes.

The show dubbed “Vive ku Vibe” will be running from Monday to Friday from 8 pm to 9 pm.

At the launch, Totto commented for the first time about the circumstances under which she left the Naguru-based media house.

“I decided since the year began that I was not going to work for Next Media again and they all knew that soon I would be leaving them,” she said.

“From (January) I got in touch with Makula and we have been working on this project which we are unveiling to you this time.”

Zahara says she officially communicated her decision to the Human Resource Manager at Next Media as well as the head of Sanyuka TV, letting them know that her time at the station had run out.

She, however, dismissed media reports that she was fired from the station, which she said were being peddled by uninformed bloggers.

Reports emerged in March this year that Zahara was thrown out of Next Media on grounds of misbehaviour, turning up on the daily UnCut show while drunk, and having an outburst with one of her show producers.

It was also alleged that she had been warned several times to step up or else face the axe.

Meanwhile, at today’s press conference, Totto said she will continue to push her deejaying brand because it pays her more.
