Area Code: Majengo Estate | The Dark Reality Behind Nairobi’s Most Feared Neighborhood

This episode of Area Code steps inside one of Nairobi’s most misunderstood neighborhoods. Majengo is more than just a name in the headlines — it’s a community shaped by history, poverty, resilience, and pain. From forced colonial-era evictions to present-day struggles with crime, unemployment, and alleged extrajudicial killings, this documentary uncovers the raw, untold reality behind the stigma. Timothy Otieno meets the people living this story every day — mothers mourning their sons, youth fighting to escape crime, and families trapped in a system that has forgotten them. This is not just a story about Majengo. It’s a story about inequality, survival, and the cost of being invisible.
