BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)—Renowned radio personality Jolly Kalero fondly called ‘Osaweta’ during his hey days at the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) has passed on this morning at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe.
Family relations say the death of the legendary broadcaster has nothing to do with novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
“On a sad note we have lost our dedicated MCP member Jolly Kalero formerly of MBC and former MP. He was sick but not Covid-19. He has died this morning at KCH,” reads a message on MCP members’ forum.
Kalelo was a darling for MBC listeners in the 1990s because of his jokes during Tadzuka Sitidziwa Anzathu programme.
Kalelo once served as Malawi Congress Party (MCP) publicity secretary and Member of Parliament for Lilongwe City North from 2009 to 2014.
