The first ever male talk show in Kenya, Mentality, is set to start airing exclusively on Zuku TV every Friday. The exciting and controversial show seeks to demonstrate the whole panoramaof male behavior by discussing topics relating to men, but affecting women.
Mentality features a regular panel of threemismatched popular men from various professions namely thespian Ian Mbugua, radiopresenter Edward Kwach and Pastor Simon Mbevi, alongside various female guestswho give women a voice on the show. Ian Mbugua acts as the main anchor andgentleman of the show while Edward Kwach represents the typical malechauvinist. Loud, sexist, opinionated and arrogant, Kwach will say what Kenyan menare secretly thinking but too afraid to say out loud. Pastor Mbuvi steps in asthe voice of reason by wisely challenging their views without coming off asconservative or scandalized.
“Mentality is one of many exciting shows that we have lined up on ZukuTV and we hope to acquire many more, said Wananchi Group CEO Richard Bell. “Weare completely dedicated to providing our customers with quality local contentfrom all over East Africa in order to both entertain viewers and support thelocal film industry,” he added.
Mentality is all about freedom of expression in an uptight society, asthe men confess to a lot of things that women wish they knew, and fellow menwish they could say to their women. It is purposely designed to createcontroversy as the three panelists push the envelope where discussions oftopics deemed taboo are readily explored. Topics up for discussion range frommarital infidelity and divorce, to more outlandish topics such as men and birthcontrol, women who carry protection and trophy women.
“The show will have a lot of controversy and conflict,” said EveD’Souza, the producer of the show. “That always makes for great viewing. Wewill be looking out for topics that are considered hot or taboo and areotherwise shunned in mainstream talk TV. Mentality is bound to be a hit amongstboth male and female audiences”
The show is set to air on ZukuAfrica every Friday from 22:00.
