Citizen TV Kiswahili news and Rashid Abdalla is also a movie producer. He and his wife Lulu Hassan have succeeded in moving fans with their excellent work on many local drama series.

Well, Abdalla's latest project is dubbed 'Kovu'

It's about family lies and secrets that have been kept hidden for too long. When that family is as rich as the Hazes, then prepare yourself for unending drama, mystery and suspense as you watch Kovu, the latest Swahili telenovela from Maisha Magic Plus.

“Kovu means scar…and every character on the show has a dark secret or is hiding something because they all have a scar. Viewers have to join the dots as the story unfolds because there are some questions answered in every episode and at the same time many questions will still remain unanswered…

what they should be prepared for is that in every scar revealed, a wound develops because every secret told is another secret kept,” Rashid says.

Through their production house Jiffy Pictures, Rashid and his wife Lulu Hassan have also previously produced other popular TV shows like Citizen TV’s Maria, Aziza, and Moyo,Huba and Maza.

While every character in Kovu is caught up in some intriguing storyline, Kovu’s most interesting character has to be Carlos Santana, played to perfection by Patrick Owino.

Rashid describes Carlos as a “two-phased philanthropist who is a guardian angel to society but really he’s the real devil.”
