How to get great Kenyan TV shows without spending a fortune

After a long day at work, you want to sit down, relax, forget everything and get engrossed in your TV catching up with the latest and hottest shows, movies and what not.

Househelps of Kawangware cast

If you are truly Kenyan like I am, you are looking for something engaging, intriguing and entertaining at the same time. And if the show could have a local aspect in it, then the better. That show for me is definitely House helps of Kawangware which is like the epitome of local comedy for me.

This TV comedy show follows the lives of four women working as house helps in an up-close and personal manner.

It shows their hilarious and believable lives as they balance work, friendship and love in Kawangware slums.

This talented cast includes Bernice Njeri (Njambi), Winnie Rubi (Awiti), Rebecca Mbithe (Kalekye) and Aisha Noor (Truphena).

Now serve with this and especially the intrigues of Njugush who unfortunately left the show and my days were made. I laugh so hard till all my problems disappear into oblivion.

For some other guys it could the rib cracking jokes on Churchill show that tickles their fancy. A jibe at Kikuyu’s from Sleepy David and a class demonstration from Professor Hamo and they embark on a laughing spree all the way from here to Cape Town.

Now these are just but a few of the local shows you can find on ShowMax which is Naspers’ answer to Netflix. ShowMax’s internet TV service gives you access to Africa’s biggest library of online entertainment for a pocket-friendly monthly subscription.
