Anita Nderu has announced she has left Capital FM to pursue new challenges.
“It is not that I did not love the organisation or I did not want to be there anymore, but I think I have given my best and I want new challenges,” she said during Kasha event at Emory Hotel.
“I drafted my resignation letter in February but every day, I was like I’m sending this today, then I would tell myself, today is not a good day because am supposed to record something,” Anita said .
The popular radio host revealed quitting the Chris Kirubi-owned station was not not an easy decision.
“I (held back) for a while, until one day when I was in a plane where I felt like this is the right time because, by the time I am landing, I will just delete the email or undo,” she said.
However, her exit comes barely a month after the station replaced her and colleagues that hosted “Hits Not Homework” that airs weekdays from 7pm to 10pm.
The crew also included former NTV screen siren Tracy Wanjiru, DJ Jo Kisila and Anne Mwaura. The station’s head of radio programmes Michael Waithaka said they were to be assigned new duties.
In January, Anita divulged how she struggled with depression for five months.
“So much has happened in the span of one week. After today I am happy to announce I will finally have peace of mind. I am so excited I literally cannot stop smiling 
The people close to me know what a struggle and mental torture last year was. I battled depression for 5 months and it was not pretty. They answered so many phone calls of me crying. I began to feel like a negative Nancy and I was. I recovered towards the end of last year and have been well since. Joy came with today’s morning however in a special way and I thank the Lord for answering my prayers,” she posted on her Instagram page.
“Then after living rent-free for three years, guess who is finally moving into her own place after singing about it for two years? This girl. I paid rent yesterday, it did not feel nice
I also went shopping for household items now I see why parents wanted to kill us when we broke things, it is not cheap to furnish a house. Then I gathered the courage to reach out to companies I have always wanted to work with! So far, so good! Also after being a Samsung fan for 10 years, I discovered another brand whose camera blew my mind! I just might switch. Then! I finalized my birthday plans. The guest list is being handled by Tracy so blame her if you are not on it It will be a VERY PINK pajama party. So excited! Also, my party planner is so extra! I love her! It is my last year on the 2nd floor. I turn 29 on the 9th of Feb! This year your presence is not present enough I want gifts. The list goes up tomorrow .”
