CRTV: Charles Ndongo apologises to French community on behalf of Adele Mbala

The Director General of the CRTV Charles Ndongo, has apologised to the French community for the false information that the well renowned 8:30pm TV news presenter Adele Mbala, dished out to the public on the 15^th of May 2017.

It took a week for the State media organ’s boss to react to Adele’s poor performance on that faithful day.

Adele Mbala who is the director of TV programs of the CRTV, a week ago, read a fictitious list of the appointed members of Emmanuel Macron, the new French president’s administration.

What made her error abominable was the fact that, the list of those newly appointed officials was still to be made public. It is not as if the names were already known before she had mistakenly compiled something else.

Ever since she made that error which is unheard of for a professional as herself, she had been distanced from the 8:30pm news set.

She had started reading news on Monday 15^th May, which had to run thus till Friday 19^th May. She could not go on till that Friday as is always the case, due to her unprofessionalism. Evelyne Owona Essomba is the one who took over the following day, after the mishap.

The French embassy in Cameroon did not take that lightly, as they pointed out that it could consequently lead to deterioration in diplomatic ties between the two nations. Severe protests by the French embassy, is one of the reasons why Adele Mbala disappeared from the limelight after disgracing herself.
