Ted Kitana, better known as Teacher Kilunda, an ex-Tahidi High actor, has revealed how a sudden loss of income due to the show’s cancellation forced him to relocate to his rural home in order to make ends meet. Teacher Kilunda was one of the stars of Citizen TV’s Tahidi High, a weekly local show.
“As a result, I had to devise quick ways to survive.” The first step was to move here (in Kangundo). It took some getting used to, but I’ve grown to appreciate the location. My family is still in Nairobi, but I prefer living in the village. There is no pressure on the food. Unless a job opportunity arises, I have no plans to return to the city.
“I can say it was an abrupt decision by management because we woke up one morning and our services were not required,” he explained.
“As a result, I had to devise quick survival strategies.” The first step was to relocate to this location (in Kangundo). It took some getting used to, but I’ve grown to love the place. My family is still in Nairobi, but I prefer village life. Food is prepared fresh and without haste. I have no plans to return to the city unless a job opportunity arises.
Furthermore,
“I own a business. I intend to open a barbershop and other services that are not currently available in the area. I am also available for acting work, as I have not retired from the stage. I am open to receiving offers and exploring new opportunities.”
Teacher Kilunda appears to be one of the actors who managed to navigate the pandemic and seek possible solutions during this difficult Covid 19 Pandemic.
