Ugandan journalist and BBC broadcaster Alan Kasujja has recorded his final episode of Africa Daily, the BBC podcast he has hosted since its inception in 2021. The news was confirmed by Kasujja himself in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.

“I have just recorded my last EVER episode of Africa Daily,” he wrote, marking the end of a significant chapter in his broadcasting career.

For more than three years, Africa Daily has provided in-depth reporting and analysis on issues shaping the African continent. With Kasujja at the helm, the podcast became a trusted space for compelling interviews, hard questions, and human stories often missing from global headlines.

Kasujja, 47, has been a key figure at the BBC since joining the London-based broadcaster in 2012. A lead presenter on the flagship Newsday programme on the BBC World Service, he has reported from across the continent, producing documentaries and features that centre Africa’s socio-economic realities and historical context.

The BBC, funded by the UK government, is currently undergoing major restructuring amid financial pressures. The corporation has announced plans to cut 500 jobs by March 2026, and is reviewing contracts across its global network. Last month, reports surfaced suggesting that the employment terms of several Ugandan journalists, including Kasujja and long-serving broadcaster Paul Bakibinga, were under review.

Kasujja’s departure comes at a time of deep transformation within the BBC. While the broadcaster has not officially commented on the end of his tenure at Africa Daily, his announcement has prompted an outpouring of tributes from colleagues, fans, and media professionals.

Barbara Kaija, editor-in-chief at Uganda’s Vision Group, wrote: “Well done Alan. You made us really proud. Your gift will make way for you. You will stand in palaces.”

Fellow journalist Darren Allan Kyeyune reflected on their collaborations, saying: “Well done Alan, glad to have worked on some of those together. Best of luck in your next chapter.” Others praised his distinctive voice and storytelling. “You made Newsday and Africa Daily a beacon of truth,” said Kiiza Benard.

“Bravo, maestro,” added Patrick Oyulu. “If this is the end, then what a run. If it’s a bend, we’re tuned in for the next frequency.”

Africa Daily host Alan Kasujja records final episode.

Born and raised in Uganda, Kasujja began his journalism career in the 1990s as a freelance writer and photographer for New Vision, one of Uganda’s leading newspapers. He later joined Sanyu FM, one of the country’s first private radio stations, before moving to Kenya to work at Capital FM in Nairobi. He returned home to co-host The Big Breakfast show on Kampala’s Capital FM, becoming a household name.

Beyond radio, he has hosted television programmes, including Uganda’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and the acclaimed political show The Fourth Estate. In 2016, he co-moderated Uganda’s first-ever live televised presidential debate, a historic moment in the country’s democratic journey.

Though Kasujja has not announced his next move, he remains a respected voice in African journalism. He has often described his passion as understanding the continent’s complex history and telling stories that challenge the status quo.

As one admirer put it: “Alan Kasujja doesn’t just ask the questions. He gives Africa the mic.”
