Kiss 100 Shaffie Weru’s First Internship Experience

Most people go through internships before they can fully enter the job market but we always assume that some people especially radio and TV Personalities land a lucrative job without tarmacking at all…but how wrong can one be!

In an interview with The Pulse, there’s an interesting revelation, with the larger than life radio presenter Shaffie Weru where he talks about his personal and career life but what stood out for us is him talking about his internship jobs.
It turns out that Shaffie was once an intern with Royal Media Services but upon completion, he found himself jobless for three months. He would later find another internship with Radio Africa Limited in 2001.
Shaffie weruIt’s here where he managed to impress his then boss Carol Radul and John Wilkins who offered him a job…not as a radio presenter but as a Production Assistant!
Well, it so happens that during his internship at Royal Media Services, on his way home, he met with thugs in South C who really roughed him up and guess what? They took all his salary which he had been paid in cash!
While you may laugh about it now, we doubt if Shaffie could spare a laugh then.
Just imagine you are an intern, you’ve just received your salary, you are all excited and all over sudden all your month’s salary is gone…Poof!  No one deserves that.
