STAR FM’s Breakfast Club producer/presenter Napoleon “Napster” Nyanhi left the country for the United States of America last Wednesday for the Nelson Mandela Washington Fellowship for young African Leaders. He will be away for the next six weeks, which means Nikki will be running solo on the breakfast show. But Napster will constantly be in touch with his fans as he will, from time to time, cross over while in the US.

During his stay there, the talented broadcaster together with hundreds of talented African youths will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet President Barack Obama at a summit.

Speaking just before leaving the country for Atlanta, Napster said: “I’m very excited and looking forward to seeing new places and new people in the US. I’d like to learn more about broadcasting and entrepreneurship so I hope to cultivate networks and friendships with like-minded people.”

To qualify for the fellowship, Napster said he had to submit essays about himself, his vision as well as his community initiatives. The personality, who is also a brilliant television presenter, volunteers for the BOOST Fellowship, where he works with young students in tertiary institutions.

Star FM’s public relations and communications manager, Beatrice Tonhodzayi-Ngondo said the station was very proud of Napster’s achievements.

“We’re proud to see our team members growing and building their own brands within the bigger brand, which is ultimately Star FM. We value our staff and would like to see even more exciting things happening for them,” Tonhodzayi-Ngondo said.

“In their own right, each one of them is uniquely talented and it’s a true marvel to watch them grow and do well.”

She added that it was exciting the achievements were happening as Star FM prepares to celebrate its third birthday on Thursday.
