Other Machachari actors
Sammy King's revelation comes at a time when most of his former 'Machachari' co-stars have transitioned into their early 20s and are exploring different aspects of life.
'Machachari,' a Kenyan TV show that aired on Citizen TV, was a comedy-drama series that revolved around the lives and adventures of children living in the fictional middle-class neighborhood of 'Maziwa Gated Community.'
Among the actors who have sustained their fame post-show are Tyler Mbaya 'Baha,' Malik Lemmy 'Govi' and Ian Nene as 'Almasi.'
Even as the actors explore new roles and opportunities in their adult lives, the nostalgia for their 'Machachari' characters remains strong among the show's dedicated audience.
