Do we now understand Jackie Matubia's motivation for pursuing weight-loss surgery? Well, it has been made known that the former Zora actress would assume the title role in the TV drama Salem.


In place of Illya Frank, Jackie will portray the title character, Zahra Mufasa. She will be an interesting third actress to assume the title role since Maisha Magic Plus on DSTV first aired the program. Mumbi Maina originally played Zahra before Illya took her place.


In a lengthy message posted on her Instagram last night, Illya shared the heartbreaking news of her resignation from the show and Jackie's appointment as her replacement.

Illya said she want to tell her fans and friends that she will no longer be featuring in the series anymore. She said she was disappointed with the decision because of the bond she had created with the character. She however introduced her replacement JMatubia and wished her all the best.


The tale of Salem explores the gap between the privileged and the destitute. And how tenuous the distinction between the two can be.


Less than a year ago, the former Tahidi High star important to her and her husband Blessing Lung'aho's first child. But with her incredible snapback game, you wouldn't be able to tell.


Jackie recently provided her followers with an update on her ongoing bodily transformation. She proudly displayed her trim body while wearing a lovely blue outfit, ingeniously captioning the photo with the phrase "No Monday blues from this side."


Jackie's weight-loss treatment accelerated the alteration of her figure. Months after giving birth, Jackie adopted the Allurion gastric treatment.


The actress refuted the myths and superstitions associated with the process, revealing that it often takes less than 15 minutes and is painless. The first gastric balloon, Allurion, can be inserted or removed without anaesthetic or an endoscopy. Just ingest a saline-filled pill.



Because of the nature of her work, Jackie presumably desired to lose weight. She recently landed the lead acting part in a brand-new TV series. It is also challenging for actresses to secure specific roles because of their physical size, as Kate Actress, who recently underwent a similar treatment, said. They begin to spend money on their bodies as a result.


The process is pricey. It costs more than $500,000 in Kenya. The Allurion, which Kate received and lasts only six months, and the Silicone, which she claims lasts eight months and is the greatest for getting better results, are the two types of treatments, according to Kate.


Kate clarified that the surgery only works if the patient learns to regulate their eating quantities and exercise. "If you don't learn how to eat lightly, regulate your portion sizes, and move your body, you'll accomplish nothing. Work is still required of you."
