Social media went wild with excitement when Star FM hinted that Tinashe Chikuse and Phathisani Sibanda would be reunited on their station to host The Champions League Breakfast Show, following their resignation from Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation’s (ZBC) Power FM, where they were fan favourites.
End of an Era: Phathisani Sibanda Sends A Warning Shot As Tinashe Chikuse Resigns From ZBC After 20 Years
News that Chikuse and Sibanda will be back on the airwaves comes barely after the former penned an emotional letter on his Facebook page announcing his resignation from ZBC after two decades.
While he did not mention his next career move, Tinashe Chikuse did not rule out the possibility of returning to the airwaves.
His former co-presenter at Power FM, Phathisani Nyathi was among the people who hopped into the comments sections and gave him words of encouragement.
He also mentioned that he hoped that one day their paths would cross again.
