Fridah Mwaka and Lofty Matambo, the Swahili news anchors at NTV, have been making headlines due to their close relationship both on and off-screen. The pair has been seen attending various social events together, sometimes even wearing matching outfits. Some people have speculated that there may be more to their relationship than meets the eye.
However, Mwaka and Matambo have denied these rumors, describing their relationship as purely platonic. They acknowledge that the public is entitled to their opinion, but they do not see any problem with being close friends.
Mwaka also confirmed that she is engaged, but she believes that her personal life should remain private and not be shared on social media. She has previously credited Matambo with helping her to grow in the media industry when she was starting out.
Matambo, who is a born-again Christian, has been married to his wife Mary Mutete since 2016. He has always kept his love life private and does not share much information about his wife.
Both Mwaka and Matambo previously worked at KTN before Matambo joined NTV and Mwaka followed suit. They currently co-host the 7pm Swahili news on NTV and are known for their chemistry and camaraderie on the screen.
