Kenya social media singing star finds a new home
Nine-year-old Tredy Bradly used to live on the streets in Kisumu, but when a video of him singing went viral on social media, his life began to turn around. His rendition of Mercy Masika's 'Mwema' captivated Kenyans, most of all a journalist called Daizy Kayech. She's helped him gain a full scholarship to attend the Sankofa Academy, and is looking after him in Nairobi as his guardian. The 麻豆社's Akwasi Sarpong spoke to both of them to hear more about their story.
