The Citi FM and Channel One TV journalist was captured standing before a large weather map and pointing to different parts of the United Kingdom as though he were delivering a live forecast.

In a post shared on X on Monday, September 21, 2026, Sanda explained that he visited the international broadcaster to greet Ghanaian media personality Akwasi Sarpong, whom he warmly described as his big brother.

He wrote:

“I stopped by the BBC to say hello to a big brother, Akwasi Sarpong. PS: I’d be joining their Weather Desk soon, see my attempt in the last slide. I’ve qualified, innit?”

The final video in his post showed the respected journalist testing his presenting skills in front of a map displaying London, Glasgow, Edinburgh and several other UK cities.

Dressed casually in a black top with an identification card around his neck, Sanda smiled and confidently gestured across the screen while attempting to explain the weather conditions.

Although he is widely known for interviewing prominent personalities and discussing serious national issues, the broadcaster appeared comfortable trying something different from his regular work.

His remark about joining the Weather Desk appeared humorous, as neither Sanda nor the BBC announced an official appointment.

The visit nevertheless offered his followers a glimpse behind the scenes of the renowned broadcasting organisation.
