From Kisogo to Koma: seven years of Gabz Media

Gabz Media1 min read

Hospital reception scene

Five movies, five series, three talk shows and two short films. A look back at how a small team became one of Tanzania's busiest production houses.

Gabz Media was founded in 2018 by Salim A. Issa, known to audiences as Gabo Zigamba, and officially registered on 18 May 2019 under the Companies Act, 2002.

A setback that became a foundation

Our first major project was an original series that was completed but never aired. Rather than end the story, that experience refined our production quality and storytelling, and taught us what the industry demands.

What we have made since

  • Movies: Kisogo and Siyabonga (2019), Safari ya Gwalu, Shimo and Spoila Girl (2020)
  • Series: Hisabati and Nje Ndani (2020), Bakora and Mawio (2024), Baraluko (2025)
  • Talk shows: Kaa Humo (2019), Maskani (2021), Koma (2025)
  • Short films: Mwamwindi (2022), Nini? (2023)

Along the way we have produced adverts for Azam TV, TTCL, DStv, Tecno Mobile, Oraimo, Ubongo Kids, Kinondoni Municipal Council and more.
