Joyce Omondi Announces Exit From Citizen TV’s Rauka Show
Renowned gospel singer and media personality Joyce Omondi has officially announced that she is stepping away from her role at Citizen TV, marking the end of her time as host of the popular Sunday gospel show, Rauka.
In a heartfelt message shared on her social media platforms on Saturday, April 18, Omondi revealed that the Sunday, April 19 episode would be her final appearance on the show.
She encouraged her viewers and loyal fans to tune in and make the moment special as she prepared to say goodbye.
Her announcement carried a tone of gratitude and reflection, showing just how meaningful the journey has been for her.
Looking back on her experience, Omondi described her time on Rauka as a great honor. She invited audiences to join her for one last broadcast, promising a memorable and emotional sign-off.
Her departure brings to a close a successful four-year run during her second stint on the show, which began in 2022 after she returned to replace fellow gospel artist Kambua.
This was not her first time hosting Rauka. Omondi initially joined the show in 2012 and remained until 2013, when she left in July to pursue further studies in the United States.
Her decision at the time marked a temporary break from television, but it also opened new opportunities for growth both academically and professionally.
After completing her studies and returning to Kenya, she continued to build her career in media. In 2019, she joined Switch TV, where she hosted a morning lifestyle and talk show known as Full Circle with Joyce.
The show allowed her to connect with audiences on a deeper level, discussing life, faith, relationships, and everyday experiences.
Beyond her television career, Joyce Omondi has also made a strong name for herself in the gospel music industry. She is widely respected for her powerful voice and music that is deeply rooted in scripture and faith.
Some of her well-known songs include Conqueror, Kweli, and Naamini, which have inspired many listeners across the country and beyond.
Although she has not yet revealed her next move, Omondi hinted that she is stepping into a new phase of her life.
She described her decision as a transition into “a new season and chapter,” suggesting that exciting opportunities may lie ahead, even though she has chosen to keep the details private for now.
Her announcement sparked emotional reactions from fans, many of whom expressed sadness at her departure while also wishing her success in whatever comes next.
Some shared how much they would miss her presence on the show, recalling the impact she has had over the years.
One fan noted that her exit felt like a heartbreak, especially since she had left once before, but still extended heartfelt support and encouragement.
It is also worth noting that Joyce Omondi is married to Waihiga Mwaura, a respected journalist currently working with the BBC and formerly a news anchor at Citizen TV.
Their partnership has often been admired by many Kenyans, especially for their shared values and strong faith.
During her final show, the moment became even more special when Waihiga, alongside Omondi’s family members, surprised her live in studio.
They presented her with flowers and shared touching words of encouragement, creating an emotional and unforgettable farewell. The gesture highlighted the strong support system behind her as she embarks on her next journey.
As Joyce Omondi steps away from Rauka, she leaves behind a legacy of inspiration, faith, and excellence. Her contribution to both media and gospel music continues to resonate with many, and her next chapter is already highly anticipated by fans across Kenya.
