Sanyu leaves the village under extenuating circumstances to do a maid’s job for a complex, wealthy urban family. It is here where she falls for her employer’s youngest son.
The channel will be unveiling another drama entitled “Mama and Me”
This one is centered around a middle-aged teacher whose husband steals her money to give it to his concubines. After his accidental death, she is accused of murder and must use her wit to stay out of jail, and to fight off in-laws who want to take her property.
And lastly, “Stori Yange”, is a show that relays the personal lives of Uganda’s most influential people. Direct and probing questions are asked on the show which automatically prompts revealing and honest responses from the interviewees.
