The month of May marks the celebration of Africa Month. This is why DStv and GOtv are excited to announce the launch of The Africa We See campaign, a heart-warming celebration of the excellence and power of Africa, its people, and the rich stories that come from the continent.
Africans are shaping and owning their narrative through stories and music – and this Africa Month, DStv and GOtv are proud to serve as vehicles that share these stories far and wide.
Martin Mabutho, Chief Customer Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, says:
“Although the current climate demands everyone to physically isolate it has, in so many ways, called people to come together and unite in celebrating what matters the most: resilience, sense of community, creativity and so much more. Attributes that perfectly illustrate the very essence of who we are as Africans.
It is in light of this, that we celebrate the distinctively African talent and entertainment on our channels that reflect the stories and lives of our treasured viewers across the continent”.
A variety of channels that speak to all Africans
With a variety of stories to be told, diverse audiences to reach, and an abundance of talent across the continent, DStv and GOtv are platforms that bring about impactful and inspiring content across several channels.
The wide-ranging channels provide a variety of content and genres, ranging from telenovelas, reality, drama, comedy, lifestyle, music, and movies. On DStv and GOtv, Africa Magic is home to Nollywood and continuously provides viewers with a variety of popular Nigerian series and movies. It has become a staple in homes across the continent.
Mzansi Magic and Zambezi Magic provide enthralling locally-produced content for Southern Africa – Maisha Bongo, leading content creator for Tanzanian viewers, Pearl Magic, the flagship channel for the Ugandan Market and Maisha Magic East, that offers the best in Kenyan shows.
Home Brewed Talent
With the purpose of promoting local content produced by Africans for Africans, DStv and GOtv continue to play an important role in giving local talent a platform to tell African stories and to act as a reflection of African communities and their families, instilling pride not just locally but globally.
The launch television promo features famous faces from across the continent, such as Iretiola Doyle, the cast of Tinsel, one of the most popular telenovelas in Africa. It will feature Chimange Chinalula of Zambezi Magic’s comedy Shi Mumbi and Jason Goliath from South Africa who can often be seen on Comedy Central.
These stars, who have put African narratives on the map, openly express their hopes and dreams for the continent.
