Maisha Magic Plus is proud to announce the premiere of its latest original drama series, Qutu, which debuted on December 1, 2025 to great anticipation.
At the heart of the drama is Daniel Ziwanda (Yusuf Ali, Utandu), a young man from a rural village who leaves behind his pregnant girlfriend, Frida, to chase a brighter future in the city.
After struggling to find his footing, Daniel’s life takes an unexpected turn when a wealthy woman steps in and helps elevate him into a respected businessman known as Colonel Ziwanda.
Years later, Frida’s declining health and her son Ray’s discovery of old love letters expose long-buried secrets. Determined to uncover the truth, Ray (Nelson Mandela, Sultana) embarks on a journey to find the father he never knew.
His reunion with Colonel Ziwanda shakes the foundations of the life Daniel has
built, sparking suspicion, jealousy, and turmoil especially when Sauda uncovers the truth about his past.
QUTU also stars Mercy Kidiwa (Tehanani), Missy Ally (Tehanani), John Mbura (Mkasi), newcomers Mixollis Kobogenza and renown TikToker Aisha Mohammed.
Produced by Mwanamisi Ally and John Mbura, the creative force behind Tehanani, Qutu is a Rambu Media/Atiza Productions masterpiece, directed by Lawrence Lector. The show is written by Fakii Kasoloi.
“Qutu is a story about love, sacrifice, and the fight for truth in the face of judgment,” said producer Mwanamisi Ally.
“It is a mirror of the society we live in; where secrets and stigma can destroy lives, but also where redemption is possible.”
Lector added: “We wanted to create a world that feels real and emotionally raw, where every character carries a truth, they are afraid to face. I am incredibly proud of the cast and crew for bringing this vision to life, and I cannot wait for audiences to experience the journey.”
