Maisha Mkanda S2
John Allan-Namu’s Kalasha-winning investigative series, Maisha Mkanda, is back for a second season. In season one, we met women struggling with infertility, survivors of terrorism, tackled the sensitive topic of skin lightening and got to know the inspiring young girls’ football team from Nairobi, who travelled to Norway to take part in a tournament, which they went on to win!
This season, Namu and his team at Africa Uncensored continue to bring us compelling stories of ordinary Kenyans from the most inspirational to the most horrifying. In Alika, we follow the story of a little girl who endured years of horrific abuse, the people who saved her and the price they paid for it. In Mlezi, we follow three women who have dedicated their lives to caring for their loved ones who cannot care for themselves while in Cyber Bullying, we get to hear from the victims of cyberbullying in Kenya and the devastating effects it has had on their lives.
Watch new episodes of Maisha Makanda weekly, dropping on Showmax at the same time as they air on Maisha Magic Plus.
