Mark Mabwe, the fresh face you’ve been hearing on Khulumani FM’s news bulletins, has finally stepped out from behind the radio and taken his place as a television news anchor at ZBC. For months listeners have been wondering who the smooth‑talking voice behind the Khulumani FM newsbreak really was, and now the mystery is solved – it’s the same Mark Mabwe who’s been turning heads on the ramp.

Mabwe’s journey is a mash‑up of style, sport and service.

After being scouted by CfM Modeling Agency , he quickly became a familiar face in Bulawayo’s fashion scene, landing a contract with Edgars Zw and gracing the pages of their monthly magazine.

His striking looks even earned him a spot among the “most handsome face models of Bulawayo” by local critics, putting him in the same breath as legends like Arthur Evans the Ace and Jefferson Muserera.

Mabwe isn’t just a pretty face. He took his talent beyond the catwalk when he represented Zimbabwe at the Mister Africa International pageant, delivering a bold message that “Africa is for everyone” while backing it up with charity projects that resonated with his theme. Leadership has always been in his DNA back in his high‑school days at Christian Bulawayo College he was elected Head Boy, steering his fellow students with the same confidence he now brings to the newsroom.

When asked about his new role at ZBC, Mabwe said,he was happy that he was given a platform to communicate with the world

“I’m thrilled to bring my voice to ZBC’s viewers. It’s a full‑circle moment from the radio booth to the television screen, and I can’t wait to connect with even more of you out there.”

He shared why t his voice has attracted listeners.

“There’s a certain warmth and clarity to it that comes from speaking with genuine passion. When you love what you’re saying, it shows, and people pick up on that energy.”

He also shared some advice for anyone dreaming of a career in broadcasting

“My encouragement to aspiring news anchors is simple work on your diction, stay curious, and never stop practicing.

“The newsroom is a marathon, not a sprint, so keep honing your craft, listen to the stories around you, and let your authenticity shine through every word you deliver,” said Mark.

Outside of the studio, Mabwe is a man of many talents. He’s a rap artist with a growing music portfolio, a rugby player who loves the rough and tumble of the field, and a proud graduate of Midlands State University with a degree in Human Resources Management.

All of these experiences, he says, shape the way he connects with people whether he’s reading the news, hitting the studio, or scoring a try.

While the newsroom now takes up much of his time, Mabwe insists he hasn’t left modeling behind; he’s simply on a pause phase to focus on his broadcasting commitments.

He promises that when he returns to the ramp, he’ll bring the same fire and passion that first put him on the map.
