Veteran Ugandan journalist Allan Kasujja has announced his departure from the BBC after 13 years of impactful storytelling and broadcasting.
Kasujja, who became a familiar voice on flagship programs such as Africa Daily and Newsday, described his journey at the global broadcaster as “transformative.” He reflected on years of growth, resilience, and amplifying African voices on some of the world’s biggest platforms.
“It has been 13 years of constant growth, breaking barriers, and going into spaces that would otherwise never be explored,” he said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked at the BBC. It’s been transformative.”
Kasujja revealed that he had once considered leaving in 2014, but decided to stay on, a choice he says he is glad he made. He credited his family and friends for their unwavering support and paid tribute to his colleagues across the BBC network for their collaboration and commitment to storytelling.
Looking ahead, the seasoned broadcaster emphasized the importance of Africans taking charge of their own narratives. “We must continue to weave Africa’s story. No one is coming to save us. No one cares as much as we do,” he said.
With a vast global network built over his years at the BBC, Kasujja now turns to his next chapter, hinting at a continued focus on redefining and amplifying Africa’s voice on the world stage.
