Who Knew Citizen TV’s Willis Raburu Could Do This?This Is Unbelievable!

You know Willis Raburu for being a polished TV anchor, humorist and…well, that’s just about it. This weekend however, the towering Citizen TV anchor put on another sombrero.

Willis joined high school students and their parents at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa for yet another edition of Africa Nasaha’s Dreamz Come True auditions. The anchor gave a personal account of how he wanted to pursue media in campus but his dad had something else in mind for him; computer science! So, for the 4 years he was in campus his dad knew he was taking computer science (because the course outline indicated, ‘Media Studies and Information Science’ when in real sense it was just a module) and only came to the realization that he in fact pursued media on the day of graduation!

He went ahead to encourage the students to follow their dreams in art and concentrate in their studies because education provides a path toward success.

Also present at the auditions was Swahili news anchor, Kanze Dena who also advised the auditioning students to make the best out of their art talents because like her, she started in theatre before rising to be an anchor at KBC and presently at Citizen Tv.

The April auditions of Dreamz Come True comes against a backdrop of a very successful Lwak Girls’ cultural dance Sax-Vio-Guitarperformance that saw them emerge top at the just concluded National Drama School Festival. The dance was choreographed by the seasoned thespian Francis Kamau Mwangi who is also the founder of Dreamz Come True.

Speaking about the success of the cultural dance, Mwangi said that parents should expect their kids who go through Africa Nasaha to come out ready to take over the art scene.

This year’s event attracted schools from across the country
