A raw and unfiltered new youth drama will land on Maisha Magic Plus this month. Jiji follows the lives of four women who are forced into a life of crime to make ends meet.
Set in Nairobi’s low-income settlement of Jericho; Jiji is a fast-paced series that captures the authentic struggles, resilience and harsh realities of ghetto life. It's a story of survival, loyalty and choices that can change everything.
The story
