JOHANNESBURG: MultiChoice Group (MCG) hosted its second annual media showcase, under the theme ‘Africa’s most-loved storyteller’, in Johannesburg this past week. Representatives from across the African continent attended the event.

In Africa, people love entertainment more than most, with daily consumption of video entertainment on the continent around 50% higher than the global average. As Africa’s most-loved storyteller, MCG’s commitment is not only to create platforms for sharing Africa’s stories. It also invests in the development of local content and local talent to ensure that the video entertainment industry across the continent thrives and grows to compete with the best in the world. 

Bringing top-quality international content to African screens is also a key part of MCG’s mandate. “We constantly review our content and channel offering to ensure our audiences are given fresh and exciting content. Much has been achieved since our first showcase event. We are thrilled to be launching three exciting new international channels on DStv today,” Yolisa Phahle, MultiChoice Group CEO of General Entertainment said.
