Veteran Kenyan journalist Jeff Koinange has once again showcased his playful, carefree side, delighting fans with a lively dance moment alongside colleague Cess Mutungi inside the Hot 96 FM studio.

A Dance Moment That Stole the Show

In the now-viral footage, Cess—dressed in a red and black sweater—takes the lead, swaying rhythmically before turning to Jeff and instructing him to “Shika vizuri” (hold tightly). She then guides his hands to her hips as they move in sync, dipping and rising together.

Jeff’s initial reaction is one of surprise—eyes wide, mouth agape—but he quickly leans into the moment. After briefly placing his hands on his head, he follows her lead with enthusiasm, fully embracing the dance.

As the moment winds down, Cess playfully reminds him that he had earlier praised the song’s vibe, prompting laughter as he returns to his seat beside co-host Patrick Igunza.
