Wednesday, December 05, 2012 - After 8 months of working with lucrative South African based business news channel CNBC, former NTV business journalist Larry Madowo has officially confirmed his departure from the station and it is still not clear where he may be headed though rumor has it that Standard Group C.E.O. Sam Shollei is after his signature.

Madowo is one of the best business journalists in the industry. Madowo has in the past 8 months been reporting for CNBC and Africa Business News (ABN) 360 in their Nairobi based bureau though he often went to their headquarters in South Africa on official duty.

On inquiring about his resignation, Madowo remained mum and has not given details why he has left the lucrative station where he was earning well more than he was earning at NTV.

8 months ago after his defection from NTV Madowo proudly wrote the statement below, though apart from his tweet today confirming his departure seems he will not be giving a press statement on his departure from CNBC.

 “I am leaving because I am a risk taker. Because I am an endlessly curious person. I want to see what happens next and I want to fully live every minute of my life. As Mark Twain once said: ‘Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.’”
