KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA — Flavia Tumusiime, a Ugandan journalist and television personality who is married to Andrew Kabuura, has resigned after six years from Serena-based NTV Uganda.
The gorgeous mother of Liam Ashaba Kabuura and wife of NTV sports journalist Andrew Kabuura resigned without stating her reason for leaving.
Flavia who joined NTV Uganda in 2015 last appeared on screen in April. Since the start of May, she has not yet returned to anchoring news.
In an Instagram statement dated May 17, 2021, Flavia Tumusiime thanked former NTV Uganda news manager Maurice Mugisha for giving her the chance to join the newsroom, and Aggie Asiimwe Konde for helping to shape her TV career.
”Praying you’re all happy and healthy and walking the path of greatness. I start the week with good news. After 20 years in television, I have chosen to challenge myself again.
In 2015, I was given an opportunity by @mauricemugi to join the newsroom @ntvuganda as an anchor and that challenge was accepted with fear and grace. Thank you @aggie.itazya who at the time insisted I will do great and didn’t give time to my anxiety.
Thank you for the training and the platform that has rebranded me and helped my career adjust to a new vision I have since set for myself. Thank you to the viewer. YOU have been the reason for a lot of my success and I will never take you for granted.
April 2021 was my last month as anchor and host @ntvuganda and the start of great changes in both my career (media personality, content creator and business partner) and life as a wife and mother.
You will always be part of my life and I don’t intend to hide the next move or actions of my life.
For now, mine is gratitude for where I’ve been and who I’ve become and I hope young people will now occupy these spaces we are leaving and that you’ll do great things.”
