KISS 100 loses Sanaipei Tande

Saturday March 24, 2012 - Radio presenter Sinaipei Tande, who started her public life as a Coca Cola pop star, has quit radio Africa where she worked for more than half a decade, and is believed headed to Nation Media Group.

 “Yesterday (Thursday) was her final working day in KISS TV,” a source claimed. “I am not sure where she is going, but I hear she is headed to one of the NMG radio stations,” the source explained.

Sanaipei was born 27 years ago in Mombasa. The family moved to Matasia, in Ngong when she was a teenager. Sanaipei joined Kiss FM in 2006, after working with Eve D’Souza on Hits not Homework at Capital FM.

She qualified to study Pharmacy at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) and even though she hasn’t yet completed the course, she is determined to go the distance.

Sanaipei burst onto the limelight with Kevin Waweru and Pamela Waithaka in 2004 when the trio was named Kenya’s Coca Cola Popstars – together they formed the group Sema. The group split up in 2005 with just one album to their credit.
