Here Are The 5 TV Sirens Who Wow Audiences With Their Beauty And Brains But Are Not Given The Hype They Deserve
TV today has completely taken a new twist, with majority of those defining our screens being women of beauty and brains. Long gone are the days when it was purely male dominated. Today, and more so in days to come, TV will be taken over completely by female anchors.
I have every reason to say this. Many people would get bored after a short while when they realize their anchor on that craved prime time news is male. Recently a certain TV station tried paring two male anchors on their prime time news and believe it it was a flop of the month. I was in a friend’s house and I saw how she quickly switched stations. When I asked why, she said she loathed male anchors being paired together for top of the hour news. This was a lady remember.
This explains the relevance female anchors have on TV. But as this is the case, Kenyan TV station have very beautiful and well educated female anchors who have had a positive impact on how news reach the audience. Some are celebrated while others are getting what they don’t deserve.
Today we delve into those who should be talked about for all the good reasons but have not gotten that recognition.
Nancy Kacungira – KTN
In 2013, Daily Monitor, a Ugandan newspaper wrote a story about Kacungira saying: Like what comes out from within, her beauty is gentle too, no overwhelming features for good or bad reasons, just a layout that comes together to create a beautiful but unintimidating young woman. It is really easy to see why she, barely months on our screens anchoring news on NTV-Uganda, seems to have won over a number of viewers already. “She has an amazing voice, she is bold, very pretty and don’t get me started on her smiles. She is simply amazing.”
On this, the writer never lied. The paper had just spoken many people’s minds. Nancy no longer works for NTV-Uganda. She is now in Kenya, closer to us than before. Ever since joining KTN, Kacungira has wowed with her composed and confident appearance on cameras as she reads prime time news. The Ugandan is not shy either. She is soft spoken but tough and true.
She did not leave her beauty in Uganda either. She is one of the most beautiful ladies on screen. She just added some Ugandan beauty in Kenya after her countryman Joy Doreen Biira made her way into the country early on.
Nancy has brains too. She holds a masters degree in International Communication from Leeds University, UK. She has a first class as an undergraduate at Makerere University.
It is time Kenyans started giving Kacungira the attention she deserves.
Beatrice Gatonye – KBC
Beatrice just defines the state-owned broadcaster, KBC. The Darubini ya KBC anchor is one of the most beautiful ladies to ever grace our screens. She is photogenic, cool and lovely in front of cameras. Her voice rhymes well with her complexion. She is the face of KBC even as it struggles to keep pace with the private-owned media stations.
Beatrice attracts an audience that purposely tunes in to KBC to watch her present news with Bonie Musambi. On top of that, her command for the Swahili language is unsullied. Impeccable. Flawless. All those words you can use to describe it.
Funny enough, Beatrice is yet to receive the hype other anchors, even those who don’t deserve it, are getting. This is being unfair, literally. She needs our attention. Serious attention.
Kamene Goro – Ebru TV
Curvaceous. Beautiful.
Kamene Goro is the newest siren in town. It is unfortunate that I did not say this early enough. She is one of the few anchors who possess all the qualities a TV siren should have. Kamene has figure. Her complexion is not disappointing either. Her voice on TV is incredible.
Kamene recently celebrated her birthday and we landed some of her photos. Believe it, it is time we gave the likes of Vera Sidika and Huddah Monroe some blackout and lit our candles for this lady. Yes, Kamene Goro is incredibly talented. But how many people give her the attention she deserves? Unfortunate.
I guess with the switch to analogue broadcasting, we will get to see more of Kamene on Ebru TV.
Karen Knaust Karimi– K24
She joined K24 in early 2014 and Karen Knaust Karimi has been a constant attraction on the mediamax-owned TV station. Her beauty coupled with brains make her one of the hottest but less talked about TV sirens.
She brings life to K24 news at 9 and complements her co-host so well. Karen Kraust should arguably by now be among the TV girls making headlines in the country and beyond. Unfortunately, no one is giving her the attention she surely deserves.
Najma Ismail – KTN
For quite some time she was behind the scenes with a very captivating voice on radio as she read news on Kiss 100. Nobody at the moment knew Najma Ismail by name. We all recognized just her voice but since making her deputy on KTN a year ago, Najma has shown, glowing on TV like that proverbial morning star.
She is one of the beauties in a hijab with a talented voice and a good command of the English language. Najma makes TV lively and a thing to watch every time she steps into studio to present the KTN at 1 news. She is, however, unfortunately, yet to be celebrated like others. She deserves our recognition and hype.
