As we mark the UNESCO Africa Week with the theme “Peace, innovation and sustainable development in Africa” – we celebrate African excellence in all creative fields. Already, our fascinating, vibrant and powerful continent is reclaiming its rightful place on the world stage.
Much as Africa is underrepresented in the rest of the world, there is still room for African content to be shared on Africa’s own media platforms. At MultiChoice, we are proud to be a part of this journey, helping to create platforms and make investments that support this evolution. As content producers, we understand how critical it is that we not only tell our own stories but that we do so using the highest possible standards and production values.
African audiences, like others across the world, respond enthusiastically to seeing themselves and their communities represented in home-grown productions done in their own languages. A few months ago, we launched the first Pan African lifestyle channel – Honey – which celebrates how we live, what we aspire to and brings style makers from across the continent to a single destination.
