The legendary broadcaster, famed for his ‘Sheki Legi’ radio show on Metro FM in the late 90s and early 2000 lived in Nyali Mombasa, next to his studios.

An accomplished radio presenter, Mr Msalame will also be remembered for popular radio quiz show - "Zum Zum kipindi cha kuongeza maarifa” on KBC radio that he co-hosted with Tido Mhando.
