Newzroom Afrika anchor Aldrin Sampear has announced his exit from the Newzroom Afrika TV news channel, revealing he has joined the department of tourism under the leadership of minister Patricia de Lille.
This comes after his suspension in April after he was involved in a road rage incident with a 20-year-old female student. He later apologised and returned to the small screen almost a month later.
Sampear shared the news of his departure on social media, expressing confidence about taking up his new venture.
Im Aldrin Sampear, and I am brilliant at what I do, he said.
When I join companies, I fix what I can and always leave the organisations elevated. My departure from Newzroom Afrika is no different. While this moment is about me, I want to send a warm hug to my cheerleaders who have been saddened by my exit from broadcasting. I promise to make you proud again.
