“A true legend has signed out. He set the FM waves on fire in the morning and even more, during his Dance Force mixes. At the peak of FM radio, the dance weekend space belonged to Alex Ndawula. Fare thee well Alex Ndawula,” Allan Ssenyonga tweeted.
“Rest in Peace Radio Legendary Alex Ndawula. You paved a way for many. Rest in Power” tweeted TV presenter, Douglas Lwanga.
To Allan Tashobya, Ndawula was “A unique voice, legend, and one of the larger-than-life Media Personalities on Capital FM Uganda who made us fall in love with this whole thing we now call a career.
“One of the legends that made me fall in love with radio while growing up. He made it fun & enjoyable.
I used his works on-air as training sessions for my inner burning passion for the mic.
Rest Well Alexander Ndawula
The industry shall never forget you” Mr. Mosh
“Alex Ndawula, you will surely be missed greatly. Your voice, your wisdom, your humor & honesty is something we will always remember. Your legacy was changing how our music was presented on the airwaves. A legend in every sense of the word that brought dignity to artistry. #Rest In Peace” GNL Zamba
