Berla Mundi Takes Over From Naa Ashorkor As New Host Of Miss Malaika Ghana

Media Personality Berla Mundi is the new host of Beauty pageant and reality show, Miss Malaika Ghana.

Mundi takes over from Naa Ashorkor, who hosted the show for six years.

The Live FM Presenter was a delegate in the reality show in 2010, and ended up as the 2nd runner-up at the end of the competition.

This season will run for 10 weeks.

Production Executives say Berla Mundi brings to the show an entirely different feel, which would steer the brand to greater heights.

It adds to recent achievements of Mundi, who was recently outdoored as Face of Woodin‘s Fusion and new Ready-To-Wear collection.

Miss Malaika Ghana is a GhOne Entertainment TV production with support from CharterHouse Productions.

Berla Mundi started out in the entertainment industry as a marketing personnel at CharterHouse Productions.

Her first show was entertainment news show, Omnibuzz, which she created and produced. It earned a nomination at the maiden edition of Ghana Television Awards 2014.
She is currently the co-host of award-winning music show, Rythmz, which won Most Outstanding Music and Variety TV Show at Television Awards Ghana 2014 and entertainment magazine show, Glitterati.

Early this year, Mundi joined Live FM as a presenter.

“I’ve been trying to get on radio for a while now, if you recall… I don’t know if you ever tuned into Y FM when Jay Foley was on for the Saturday Morning show. I used to go on there with him, so that was the whole idea: the plan was to try and get me on radio. That was what Jay Foley had been working on for a while now because he thought i was such a phenomenal TV presenter, I have great voice and I could succeed on radio as well,” she told this reporter in an interview.

“So when he confirmed his move to Live FM, he got in touch with me and told me about it and how he would want me to move to Live (FM) along with him because he believed that it’s a big platform and I will do well there so that’s how it started. But before that, we had been talking about getting on radio for a long time.”

A multi-talented lady, Mundi has hosted quite a number of prestigious events including the launch, nominees announcement and industry night of the 2015 Ghana Music Awards, launch of Sports brand Adidas in Ghana, Women’s Month 2014 which had former First lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, current Second Lady, Her Excellency , Mrs. Matilda Amissah-Arthur and Ministers of State in attendance, Miss Malaika 2014/15 , red carpet at the African Academy Movie Awards (AMAA) 2014 in Nigeria and many others.

She made her movie debut in Single, Married and Complicated produced by Yvonne Nelson’s YN Productions in 2014.

Mundi’s mission in life is to “help create a world of possibilities, especially for the youth by encouraging them to believe in themselves, pursue and achieve their dreams.”

She was announced as a co-host of Moments With Mo Pan-Africa together with Actress/TV Host Ama K. Abebrese this year. The production telecasts in Nigeria , Ghana, South Africa and Kenya.

Her future goal? “To be one of Africa’s biggest broadcast journalists and also own her brand of cosmetics.”

Officially known as Berla Addardey, Mundi is a product of University of Ghana with a first class degree in Linguistics and Psychology.
