Nairobi, Kenya – October 2025 — Kenyan actress Brenda Wairimu continues to make waves across the African entertainment landscape with yet another prestigious recognition. The celebrated actress has been nominated for Best Actress of the Year in East & Southern Africa and Best Actress in a TV Series at the Zikomo Africa & Caribbean Awards 2025.

The Zikomo Awards celebrate outstanding individuals and organizations that positively impact their industries and communities across Africa and the Caribbean. Brenda’s nomination highlights her continued influence and excellence in storytelling through film and television.

Brenda, who stars in the hit series Lulu and Aisha released in October 2025 and who previously captivated audiences in Zari, Shuga, Monica, Selina, and Mali, has long been recognized for her dynamic performances and her commitment to authentic African narratives. Her compelling portrayals have earned her numerous accolades, including honors from the Women in Film Awards, the Lake International Film Festival, the Kalasha Awards, and the Sotigui Awards.

Beyond acting, Brenda has produced and starred in several acclaimed projects, including Disconnect and Subira on Netflix, and co-produced 18 Hours, which won Best Movie at the AMVCAs. She remains a strong advocate for women’s empowerment and education through initiatives such as Cool 4 Skool, which provides reusable sanitary pads to school girls across Kenya.

With her Zikomo Awards nomination, Brenda once again represents Kenya and East Africa on an international stage, embodying the excellence and creativity that continue to define African cinema.

Liz spoke candidly about power, urging young entrepreneurs to “crave power in order to succeed” and to “not be afraid to demand power.”

This powerful call to action resonated deeply with the audience, many of whom are at the beginning stages of building their own ventures. Her message underscored that empowerment is not only about ambition, but also about claiming one’s space in industries that often underestimate youth or new voices.

AYAKHA NTUNJA: A STAR ON THE RISE AS YOUNGINS SEASON 3 RETURNS & LOVED OUT PREMIERES
ntunja is steadily carving her place as one of South Africa’s most exciting young talents, with a body of work that reflects her range and resilience as a performer. With Season 3 of Showmax’s hit teen telenovela Youngins is set to drop 19 September, and her feature film debut, Loved Out hitting theaters on 26 September, Ntunja’s star continues to rise.

Audiences first met Ayakha in 2021 as Dudu in Pearls of Wisdom, and she quickly built momentum with roles in NTASH, Ubizo Lakhe, and Ke Bona Spoko. Her breakout came in 2023 as Amo in Youngins, where she won fans with her layered portrayal of a character navigating friendship, love, and self-discovery. Today she also stars as Qhawe in Inimba, the powerful Mzansi Magic drama that has further cemented her reputation as a versatile and magnetic screen presence.

In Loved Out, Ayakha stars as Vazu, a dynamic character who brings warmth and sharp energy to the film’s fast-paced world.

“I’m so honoured to be part of a project that feels unapologetically South African yet speaks to universal themes of identity, resilience, and love,” says Ntunja. “Loved Out is bold, colourful, and fun — and I’m excited for audiences to see it.”

Loved Out will open in cinemas nationwide on 26 September 2025, screening at NuMetro, Ster-Kinekor, and CineCentre theatres. The film will also be released in Zimbabwe on 28 November 2025.

With her growing list of credits and upcoming premieres, Ntunja represents the promise of a new generation of South African storytellers and screen stars. Each performance builds on her journey — from Pearls of Wisdom to Inimba — marking her not just as an actor to watch, but as one defining the landscape of contemporary African entertainment.

Just a South African girl in a Canadian suit with her Canadian friends.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel and Jason, who were in South Africa as part of the Canadian delegation attending the at the Sandton Convention Centre.

Jason and Daniel also visited me at the and joined the event hosted by UNISA in partnership with Amazon. It was an inspiring time filled with learning, collaboration, and meaningful connections.

I look forward to building on moments like these and hopefully visiting them in Canada someday.
