Ted Kitana, widely recognized for his role as the strict yet endearing Mr. Kilunda on the popular Kenyan TV series Tahidi High, has transitioned from the limelight to a fulfilling life in Kangundo, Machakos County.
Following the show’s conclusion in 2020, Kitana returned to his rural roots, immersing himself in farming and entrepreneurship.
In Kangundo, Kitana has established multiple ventures, including a salon, an M-Pesa outlet, and a farm.
Drawing from agricultural skills he acquired during his youth, he now employs four staff members across his businesses, excluding the farm.
While his wife and children continue to reside in Nairobi, Kitana finds solace in the village’s serene environment, fresh produce, and reduced stress levels.
He has expressed no immediate plans to return to city life unless a compelling acting opportunity arises.
Kitana’s journey from television fame to rural entrepreneurship underscores the adaptability and resilience of artists navigating post-showbiz life.
