CS Namwamba Launches Gov’t’s Talent Search Show
On Thursday, July 4, Cape Media, which operates TV 47 and Radio 47, reached an agreement with the government to air a new Talent Show organized by the government.
Ababu Namwamba, Cabinet Secretary of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy, and Sports, announced the deal, stating that the show titled ‘WhozNext’ will air exclusively on Cape Media Channels.
The show is scheduled to premiere on the station in the coming days.
“WhozNext has been curated in the mould of America’s Got Talent,” stated Namwamba.
The ministry stated that the talent search will primarily focus on seven thematic areas: music, pageantry, fashion, poetry, comedy, dance, and content creation.
In a meeting with the Cape Media House’s executive leadership at the Talanta Plaza headquarters, CS Ababu stated that his ministry was eager to replicate the success of the #TalantaHela program.

“The name TV 47 and Radio 47 sync well with our plan to roll out this program to all the 47 counties and I’m sure that we will leverage your countrywide audience to showcase to the Kenyan people the rich talent pool that exists,” he noted.
During the meeting, Simon Gicharu, the Media House’s founder and chairperson, stated that the media house would collaborate with Mount Kenya University to ensure the show’s success.
“We know that we have the right apparatus to produce and execute this project to international standards,” Gicharu stated.
Cape Media was founded in 2017 and later expanded to launch its TV station, TV 47, in 2019.
Since its inception, the media house has experienced rapid growth, culminating in the establishment of Radio 47.
Furthermore, the station has been on a poaching spree for some of the big names in the media industry in an effort to boost its ratings.
