Rich boy falls in love with poor girl. Check. Tortured romance. Check. Truth doesn’t come out easily. Check. Dangerous infatuation. Check. While has all the tropes of a classic Mexican telenovela - the kind that has our blood boiling with every episode - it boasts an advantage its Mexican competition doesn’t have. It’s a Kenyan story; a Swahili telenovela that’s not here to just check boxes. Instead it’s making a statement that a Swahili show can captivate the masses and command a following just as huge and as dedicated as other popular shows.

is that powerful. In its 16-month existence (it premiered in January 2018 on Maisha Magic East), this telenovela has created a fandom so immersed into its storyline, they could barely hold their emotions after the big episode last week. Suffice to say, Selina has crushed more hearts than any Kenyan TV show out there. But since I am not the one to spoil, just know that in there was a wedding that involved our tortured love triangle of Selina, Nelson and Biko and now team #Selison is heartbroken.
