Netflix has spent a cumulative $175 million (Sh23.5 billion) in film production in Africa since it gained entry in 2016, creating at least 12,000 jobs in the process.

During the seven years, the online video streaming giant has focused its operations on the three sub-Saharan African countries of Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa, with the latter ranking as the continent’s largest contributor of content to the site.
