Meet the Characters

Wondering why you should be glued to Crossroads? Let’s dive into the lives of the key characters:

McKenzie

McKenzie is a young man fuelled by relentless determination to rise above his humble origins in Kakuto Village. His marriage to his childhood friend Kwezi is a strategic move to protect her from a relationship devoid of genuine love. When he lands an opportunity at Horizon Media Network in Kampala, he swiftly adapts to urban life, aiming for success and wealth.

Kwezi

Kwezi embodies resilience and compassion, shaped by her village upbringing yet dreaming of a brighter future. She yearns for a romantic connection with McKenzie, seeking deeper ties beyond their familial bond. Her move to Kampala in pursuit of a better life sees her navigating urban challenges with optimism and determination.

Abby

Abby, the daughter of Horizon Media Network founder Herbert, is appointed Head of Business Media Management. Facing skepticism from board members, she is determined to prove herself. Despite personal and professional scandals, Abby remains committed to leading HMN into a new digital era, supporting innovative ideas like McKenzie's. She also grapples with strained relationships, especially with her mother, but remains resolute in driving HMN forward.

As we approach the premiere of Crossroads, the stakes are high. How will McKenzie, Kwezi, and Abby navigate their challenges? Will they achieve their dreams, or will they be thwarted by the very ambitions that drive them?
