Take a cupful of passion and zeal, add a
spoonful of focus and determination, mix with proper pronunciation on air, a dollop
of presentability, a dash of networking, and then stir in a bowl of prayer to
taste – a complete broadcast journalist.
Renowned television journalist Oscar
Pambuka made a booming appearance at his former school, Christian College of
Southern Africa (CCOSA) last week as a distinguished guest of the CCOSA press
club.
But the charismatic media practitioner
would single out confidence as the main ingredient of the broadcast recipe.
Clad in a gray t-shirt and blue jeans,
it took him not more than 5 minutes to make his presence felt. Having
been introduced and given the floor by the school’s journalism director,
Tawanda Mukurunge, Pambuka energetically sprung off his seat, on his feet and
navigated into the filled lecture room.
Visibly bubbling with confidence,
Pambuka quickly ventured into his interactive session.
The middle sized journalist credited and
acknowledged CCOSA as one of the most recognised producers of efficient
journalists in Zimbabwe, bothering to mention a few names of seasoned products
who have made their names in the industry. The likes of famous news anchor Musorowegomo
Mukosi, Walter Mufanochiya, and Ztv reporter Reuben Barwe.
Marking his second visit to the college
in a space of one year, Pambuka beamed with passion as he shed a huge light of
employment hope for trainee journalists basing it on Chapter 12; Part 5 of the
2013 Constitution Draft which frees the airwaves and gives more potential to media
plurality.
Nevertheless, Pambuka’s recipe has a
rich aroma of success achieved by overheating in the oven of hard work.
