The content showcase was hosted by Katlego Matlhodi Arnone and gave media an opportunity to learn about the array of local African content in store for the next six months.
The showcase also gave local content producers an opportunity to understand the requirements and processes involved in submitting content onto DStv.
Speaking at the breakfast event, Arnone said MultiChoice has always strived to bring their customers the best in video entertainment throughout the years they have been in Botswana.
“Our customers are our number one priority, and with the current continuous flow of content available through several media, we are excited that we are still able to entice our customers with exclusive sport coming out of our SuperSport offering, the newest Hollywood blockbusters on our M-Net movie channels, and of course, the rich African stories we produce and broadcast on our homegrown channels,” he said.
The highlight of the content showcase offering, however, was the abundance of African homegrown stories such as A Ke Tshabe Lekgoa, a comedy series following the hilarious daily adventures of a Black South African woman living in democratic South Africa, which airs on Comedy Central (DStv 122), and Mzansi Magic’s (DStv 161) newest telenovela, The Housekeepers.
On The Housekeepers, viewers get a dramatic view into the fictional lives of hired house help and the dangerous secrets they keep from their employers.
Of the various local African content airing on DStv in the next few months, MultiChoice has produced and/or commissioned 70%. “Our mission is to deliver value to our valued customers by making great entertainment more accessible.
As a video entertainment company born and bred in Africa, we want to be the best African storyteller in the world, and at the same time, deliver the best local and international stories that resonate with Batswana,” Arnone said.
