Netflix’s viewership and subscriptions have been on a steady rise in Africa in the past few years. Moreover, the increasing availability of fast and cheap internet is allowing the platform to grow on the continent. 

Hopefully, in the coming years, Netflix will be able to provide the direct MPESA mode of payment. With its success in the country and across the world, many multinationals have added MPESA as a means of payment.
