In this episode of The City Show, we hit the streets to see how people are shaping everyday life in three very different African cities. In Nairobi's Mathare, community organiser Gathanga Ndungu and a network of women activists are fighting for safety, dignity, and justice in one of the city's oldest and most neglected neighbourhoods. In Lusaka, Mildred Musonda Nkole's roadside café shows how small-scale entrepreneurship keeps cities fed and communities connected even amid power cuts and economic strain. And in Cairo, heritage expert May al-Ibrashy and the women of Athar Lina reveal how preserving old buildings is also about protecting stories, livelihoods, and identity. Together, their stories capture the energy, resilience, and reinvention driving cities across Africa.
