The Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports is set to launch a brand new TV show, “WhozNext,” designed to empower Kenya’s creative youth.
Inspired by America’s Got Talent, “WhozNext” will offer a platform for talented Kenyans across seven diverse categories: music, pageantry, fashion, poetry, comedy, dance, and content creation.
Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba announced the initiative during an event unveiling Cape Media as the show’s official media partner.
“We aim to replicate the success of our Talanta Hela sports program, but this time for the creative industry,” stated CS Namwamba.
The show is envisioned as a game-changer, providing a structured pathway for nurturing and showcasing Kenyan talent. The ultimate goal is to equip talented artists with the tools and exposure needed to achieve financial success.
