Welcome back to Rex Shi Mumbi with the brand new installation titled Shi Mumbi: A Family Affair, where family drama meets outrageous comedy in a whirlwind of mishaps, schemes, and unexpected heroism.
At the heart of it all is Rex, a man whose knack for trouble is only rivalled by his relentless determination to fix things... even if his solutions are often more disastrous than the problem itself!
Read on to meet the characters of the hottest comedy on the airwaves.
Rex Shi Mumbi the hustler extraordinaire
Rex is the definition of a smooth talker with big dreams and even bigger schemes. Whether he's making promises he can’t keep or finding creative (and sometimes illegal) ways to make money, he always manages to stay one step ahead—until now. With the threat of jail looming over him thanks to his mother-in-law's village fund debacle, Rex is in over his head and needs all the help he can get. Will his charm and “street smart” be enough to save him this time?
Bana Mumbi the sensible wife
Behind every chaotic man is a strong woman trying to keep the family afloat. Bana Mumbi is the glue holding the household together, despite Rex's countless blunders. Fiercely protective of her family, she’s always cooking up her own plans to help Rex, but sometimes even her best efforts go hilariously wrong. How far will she go to rescue her husband from his latest mess?
Ba Mayo (The Mother-in-Law) the unstoppable force
Feared and respected in equal measure, Ba Mayo is a woman on a mission—to get her money back, no matter what it takes! Tough as nails and sharper than a sword, she doesn’t trust Rex one bit. From selling fake herbal medicines to outsmarting the police, Ba Mayo is a force to be reckoned with in the city streets. Will she finally teach Rex a lesson or become his unexpected partner-in-crime?
Kapaso the relentless village watchdog
Assigned to shadow Rex until the debt is repaid, Kapaso takes his job seriously... perhaps a little too seriously. Ever watchful and ever loyal to the village headman, Kapaso’s presence adds a constant layer of pressure and comic relief as Rex tries to shake him off while pulling off his usual antics.
The extended family – A recipe for disaster
From nosy neighbours to meddling in-laws, the Shimumbi household is never short of drama. Whether it’s Bana Mumbi’s sister trying to bring order or the brother-in-law who just can’t stay away from trouble, every member of the family brings their own unique flavour to the chaos.
Crazy adventures await!
Join the Shimumbi family as they navigate one outrageous predicament after another. From fake business deals to mistaken identities, from near arrests to accidental heroism—this family has a knack for turning the impossible into the unforgettable.
Shi Mumbi: A Family Affair is packed with humour, heart, and the ultimate lesson that, no matter how messy things get, family always sticks together.
