Cindy Sanyu: Balancing fame and family — The 77 Percent

September 3, 2025

In this week’s show, we explore how money, or its lack, shapes men’s identities. We meet Uganda’s pop star Cindy Ssanyu and how she balances her fame with domestic life. In our street debate, we hit the streets of Lagos and ask young people, “Does money make a man?” And then we then highlight the work of a female cinematographer who is pushing the boundaries of what women can achieve.
