Last evening, the newest TV drama series “Sumu La Penzi” held a media preview at Spielworks Media Ltd that saw a host of celebs attend. “Sumu La Penzi” is the latest Swahili Drama Series that airs on Africa Magic Swahili (DStv Chnl 158/ GOtv Chnl 103).

“Sumu La Penzi” follows the life of three urban women, their mishaps and their adventures as they prey on high-flying men of the city to fund their expensive lifestyles. These women, Mariam, Eva and Tindi trawl on social gatherings, bars and even their friends’ workplaces with their feminine charms, often scoring ridiculously rich married men of the city.

The central character, Mariam, is the elegant, classy go-getter who is dating three men at a go. She is the envy of every girl in town, a master of the game who is living the dream life. Her best friend is Eva, a banker who is dating a married man, and has had a daughter by him. She is drowning in delusions, believing that the man is in love with her and will leave his wife for her. In all this is Mariam’s cousin, fresh electrical engineering graduates whose efforts to score a job have hit a dead end. Mentoring these girls on their ways is Ama, a bar manager at their favourite joint.
