After being at KTN for 17 years, Kasavuli left the station in 2007 to join Citizen TV, owned by Royal Media Service. She was part of the mass exodus that saw a number of high-profile news anchors such as Swaleh Mdoe and Louis Otieno leave the Standard Group-owned TV station for Citizen TV.
Kasavuli has one son, Martin, who was born in 1981. Catherine has reportedly stated that she had to leave him home to attend to her demanding career and regrets missing the early moments of his childhood.
