A select-few guests, inclusive of the who-is-who in showbiz and the media were treated to a glitzy, glamorous premiere of Pepeta, a new Kibera-set Showmax crime series at Nairobi Street Kitchen.
Attendees were treated to an exclusive screening of the first episode of the 9-episode series. Pepeta depicts the true life story Harun ‘Rio’ Wathari, who was also in attendance.
