Kanumba began his acting career with  appearances in a host of local Tanzanian soap operas like, Jahazi, Dira  and Tufani just to name a few. He then expanded his horizon by venturing  into the film industry, his first movie being Haviliki,  which was just  the beginning of great journey, for  “The Great”.

Having achieved so much before the  age of thirty, Kanumba feels that he's only just begun. He looks forward  to a long and fruitful career in every area of  the film industry. Not only is he a successful film star and  producer, he is also very active in philanthropy. He has recently been  named the OXFAM GROW ambassador for Tanzania. Kanumba extends  his love and gratitude to each and everyone that has helped along the  way in his career; "first and foremost The Lord God, My Family  especially my Mother, Chrissant Mhengga, Kaole Sanaa Group, Mr &  Mrs. Mtitu G Game, Sharifa Kalala, Sanura Husein,  Vicent Kigosi,  Producers, Directors, Artists, Friends and Loved ones and last but not  least my fans all around the world".  |
