Selina is a classic Cinderella-like tale that combines the romance of the fairy tale with the relevant social issue of educating the girl child. It depicts the life of
Selina, a 19-year-old girl, who goes to work in a wealthy city home after being brainwashed by her step-mother, Kristina, who has convinced her to leave her
family and education behind and instead work as a housemaid in order to support her family, her sickly father and her younger step-brother and sister.
As fate would have it, Selina falls for the youngest son of the house where she is deployed to work.

Selina airs every Monday – Wednesday at 8.30pm EAT on Maisha Magic East on DStv channel 158 and GOtv channel 4.
