La Société Islamique d’Assurance des Investissement et de Crédits à l’Exportation (SIACE) (https://ICIEC.IsDB.org), assureur multilatéral conforme à la charia et membre du Groupe de la Banque Islamique de Développement (BID), annonce aujourd’hui que le 4ᵉ Programme de renforcement des capacités destiné aux utilisateurs du Centre de veille économique de l’OCI (OBIC) se tiendra du 24 au 26 novembre 2025 à Casablanca. 

Parrainé par la SIACE, la Banque Islamique du Développement (BID), la Banque Arabe pour le Développement Economique en Afrique (BADEA), la Banque Africaine d’Import-Export (Afreximbank) et le Centre Islamique pour le Développement du Commerce (ICDT), ce programme constitue une étape clé pour améliorer la qualité, l’accessibilité et l’intégration des informations sur le crédit et les affaires dans les États membres de l’Organisation de la coopération islamique (OCI). Initiative phare de la SIACE, l’OBIC offre une plateforme essentielle pour moderniser les systèmes de reporting de crédit, renforcer les infrastructures de veille économique et faciliter la prise de décision en matière de commerce et d’investissement, tout en réduisant les risques et en favorisant un développement durable. 

Ce programme de trois jours réunira des hauts responsables, ainsi que des experts pour examiner le rôle de la veille économique dans l’amélioration de la prise de décision économique. Il débutera par une séance d’ouverture regroupant les institutions partenaires, suivie de discussions sur la contribution de l’OBIC aux écosystèmes de crédit nationaux et transfrontaliers, l’utilisation d’informations de crédit fiables dans les secteurs bancaire, des exportations et de la promotion des investissements, ainsi que sur l’importance de plateformes telles que l’Africa Trade Gateway. 

Le programme proposera également des études de cas pratiques en Tunisie, un aperçu de la base de données de crédit partagée de l’Union AMAN et une présentation des identifiants uniques d’entités comme MANSA et GLEIF. Il se conclura par des témoignages de réussite en matière d’autonomisation économique des femmes en Afrique et par une session dédiée au renforcement de l’utilisation des outils statistiques et de veille économique par les agences de promotion des investissements, avant la cérémonie de clôture. 

Dr Khalid Khalafalla, Directeur général de la SIACE, a déclaré :« Améliorer la qualité, la fiabilité et l’accessibilité de l’information sur le crédit dans nos États membres est essentiel pour stimuler des flux commerciaux et d’investissement durables. Grâce à la plateforme OBIC et à ce programme de renforcement des capacités, nous dotons les institutions des outils nécessaires pour prendre des décisions éclairées, réduire les risques et accélérer les opportunités économiques dans l’ensemble de la région de l’OCI. Notre partenariat avec la BID, la BADEA, l’Afreximbank et l’ICDT illustre notre engagement commun à bâtir un écosystème économique plus transparent, interconnecté et résilient au bénéfice de nos États membres. »

G20 Social Summit a historic path of no return

G20 Social Summit a historic path of no return

Brazil’s Minister of Human Rights, Macaé Evaristo, has heralded South Africa’s embrace and expansion of the Brazilian-initiated G20 Social Summit aimed at placing human dignity and civil society at the heart of the world’s most powerful economic forum. 

The Minister delivered remarks at the closing ceremony of the G20 Social Summit held in Ekurhuleni on Thursday.

The summit was first held in the South American country during its G20 Presidency in 2024.

“In 2024, [Brazilian] President Lula [Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva] said we were living in a historic moment when we established a social pillar alongside the political and financial ones, and it is a great joy that we see the South African Presidency embrace this initiative.

“Brazil initiated the process. South Africa not only continued it but expanded it and we invite the future presidency to join us because this must be a path of no return. It is through the participation of those who feel in their day-to-day lives the impact of decisions we make that we will lead, overcome gridlocks and continue advancing,” Evaristo said.

The Minister reaffirmed South Africa’s stance that “civil society cannot be merely a spectator” – noting that societal challenges and issues must be at the forefront of discussions. 

“It must participate broadly, diversly and meaningfully in the activity of the decision-making process of the G20. Social development, inclusion, equity and multiple ways of living and existing must be at the centre of global governance alongside macroeconomic, political and financial deliberations.

“The theme that South Africa has chosen for this presidency – ‘Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability’ –  clearly expresses this commitment. History teaches us that it is not enough to have concepts to guide social policies and social environment justice. It is essential to recognise that the grassroots movements and the people [who] organise in their territories are the ones who turn concepts into reality,” she noted.

Evaristo wove in a historical thread – linking South Africa’s struggle and triumph against apartheid – to the current marginalisation of vulnerable communities across the globe.

“It is here that we have gathered for the G20 Social [Summit] to affirm that our steps come from far. This experience of past struggle resonates today in the struggles of peripheries… and they pave the way for the future of G20 countries without hunger, without poverty, without racism, without xenophobia, without LGBTA+ [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and asexual] phobia, without ageism, without other forms of oppression.

“We recognise that embracing diverse voices and promoting dialogue is essential for G20 Social and [to] consolidate itself as a global reference platform for the integration of civil society.

“Listening to these voices and building response mechanisms with them is the only path that is right… to addressing inequities,” she said.

The Minister summoned the spirit of former President Nelson Mandela as a guiding light to bringing people together for the common good. 

“The combination of the pillars – political, financial and social – reflects the history of our peoples’ struggles. Our great leader, Nelson Mandela, in the 90s emphasised the need for the people to be consulted in political negotiations in the country.

“Now, Brazil and South Africa together reinforce the importance of all people participating in the decisions about the global governance with solidarity, equality and sustainability,” she said. – SAnews.gov.za

We will have a declaration, President Ramaphosa says ahead of G20 Summit

We will have a declaration, President Ramaphosa says ahead of G20 Summit

President Cyril Ramaphosa says the G20 process is moving ahead decisively with or without the United States after US President Donald Trump threatened to block the adoption of any joint declaration under South Africa’s G20 Presidency. 

Speaking to members of the media as he left the G20 Social Summit to address the B20 gathering, President Ramaphosa expressed confidence that negotiations were nearing completion, despite the United States objections.

“We will have a declaration. The talks are going extremely well. I’m confident we are moving towards a declaration, and they are now just dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s. 

“Without the United States, the whole process of the G20 is moving forward. We will not be bullied. We will not agree to be bullied,” the President said pointedly on Thursday.

President Ramaphosa’s remarks follow threats by President Trump, who has repeatedly criticised multilateral institutions, warning that South Africa “cannot expect a declaration” if the US does not support its content. 

His comments fueled concerns that the G20 Leaders’ Summit could end without consensus, as has happened in previous years when geopolitical tensions derailed discussions.

However, the South African Presidency has maintained throughout the summit cycle that a declaration reflecting global inclusiveness and balanced development priorities would not be held hostage by unilateral pressure.

President expresses confidence in the process

President Ramaphosa told journalists he was encouraged by the progress made across multiple G20 tracks, praising the engagements he had held throughout the day.

“I’ve just spent time with people from civil society. I feel very satisfied and now I am going to meet another group,” he said, referring to his upcoming address at the B20, the business arm of the G20. – SAnews.gov.za

Deputy President, French President to honour anti-apartheid activists

Ahead of the G20 Leaders’ Summit at the weekend, Deputy President Paul Mashatile will host French President Emmanuel Macron to commemorate the French citizens who played a role in the fight against apartheid in South Africa.

The President of France will be in the country to join other leaders who will be attending the Group of Twenty (G20) Leaders’ Summit scheduled for 22-23 November, under the theme ‘Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability’.

“South Africa and France enjoy cordial bilateral, political and economic relations in areas such as trade and industry, defence, science and technology, energy, education, transport, arts and culture, among others,” said the Presidency in an advisory on Thursday.

Friday’s wreath-laying ceremony will take place at the Freedom Park Heritage Site & Museum in Pretoria.

“The ceremony follows South Africa’s recent successful visit to France, which further strengthened the historically warm relations between the two countries by expanding on existing cooperation projects through mobilising investments, as well as identifying new areas of cooperation with specific focus on trade and investment,” said the Presidency.

The Deputy President paid a courtesy visit to President Macron at his residence, the Palais de l’Élysée, in Paris in May prior to concluding a successful working visit to that country.

Televisão: Um motor da cultura africana

Source: Africa Press Organisation – Portuguese –

A televisão – tanto o seu conteúdo como a sua tecnologia – tornou-se a espinha dorsal da cultura africana. Enquanto o mundo celebra o Dia Mundial da Televisão, a Dra. Busola Tejumola, Directora Executiva dos Canais de Entretenimento Geral da MultiChoice (www.MultiChoice.com), avalia o impacto de uma plataforma que continua a unir pessoas após mais de 65 anos no continente.

Ao celebrarmos o Dia Mundial da Televisão, a luz que a televisão projecta sobre a nossa sociedade permanece inabalável. A TV continua a ser um dos maiores conectores da humanidade. Informa, educa, inspira e entretém – mas, mais importante, ajuda as pessoas a verem-se a si próprias e umas às outras de novas e poderosas formas.

Desde que a TV chegou a África em 1959, com o lançamento da Western Nigeria Television, tem sido um veículo para a ligação social, o intercâmbio cultural e o orgulho nacional. Proporciona-nos momentos partilhados – seja através de desporto, notícias ou dramaturgia – que moldam a nossa memória colectiva.

Ecossistema de entretenimento de África

A MultiChoice, uma empresa do CANAL+, é o fornecedor de entretenimento televisivo mais adorado em África e tem muito orgulho no seu papel na construção do ecossistema de entretenimento africano.

Desde o seu lançamento em 1985, a MultiChoice  evoluiu (https://apo-opa.co/49Zelr6) para satisfazer consistentemente as necessidades do público africano. A SuperSport foi lançada em 1986; o nosso serviço analógico chegou a 20 países em 1992; lançámos a tecnologia de satélite digital em 1995; e a televisão baseada em aplicações em 2014. O serviço de streaming Showmax surgiu em 2015.

Os prémios Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) tornaram-se uma celebração continental da excelência criativa na televisão. A MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) formou 486 profissionais e continua a formar e a capacitar os criadores de conteúdos televisivos em todo o continente.

Inovação tecnológica constante

Aprendemos que a constante evolução tecnológica é fundamental para manter a relevância da televisão na vida dos nossos espectadores. A nossa jornada de inovação tem sido impulsionada pelas necessidades dos clientes. Desde as transmissões em HD e 4K até ao DStv Explora e ao Catch Up, temos vindo a melhorar continuamente a forma como as pessoas consomem conteúdos.

O recente lançamento do DStv Stream e da nova plataforma Showmax representou mais um grande avanço na distribuição de conteúdos em diversos dispositivos, oferecendo recomendações personalizadas com base em análises avançadas.

Também investimos em interfaces em línguas locais, streaming adaptativo e pagamentos fáceis de utilizar, tornando a nossa tecnologia inclusiva e potenciadora.

A tecnologia leva um público mais vasto ao ecossistema da TV – em áreas urbanas e rurais, e com diferentes níveis de rendimento. Através da migração digital, da visualização em dispositivos móveis e das opções flexíveis de subscrição, mais africanos podem agora aceder a entretenimento de qualidade sem limitações.

Para as pessoas e para o planeta

Na MultiChoice, compreendemos também que a acessibilidade significa mais do que apenas disponibilidade – pode também ajudar a garantir que cada espectador se vê a si próprio e à sua cultura representada na narrativa africana.

A televisão tornou-se também um veículo para o impacto ESG (ambiental, social e de governança). Na área ambiental, estamos a adoptar descodificadores com baixo consumo de energia, embalagens ecológicas e práticas responsáveis de eliminação de lixo electrónico através de programas de recolha de descodificadores e outras iniciativas.

Socialmente, os nossos investimentos na produção de conteúdos locais, no desenvolvimento de competências através do MTF (Multi-Future Technology) e nas narrativas comunitárias criam empregos sustentáveis e capital cultural em toda a África. Do ponto de vista da governança, implementámos a mais recente tecnologia de TV para protecção de conteúdos, privacidade de dados do consumidor e publicidade responsável.

A enriquecer vidas

Em última análise, a televisão deve acrescentar valor à vida das pessoas. As pessoas querem opções, relevância e controlo. Tal significa oferecer uma variedade de conteúdos, produtos inovadores e experiências personalizadas.

Hoje, a DStv e a GOtv oferecem pacotes com preços a partir de 1 dólar, disponíveis em mais de 50 países de África, com até 156 canais de vídeo lineares para os subscritores. O serviço Showmax está disponível em 44 mercados. A plataforma de TV acessível GOtv foi lançada em 2011 e chega agora a oito mercados.

Aprendemos também que o verdadeiro valor para o cliente reside em oferecer conteúdo que gere identificação, informe e entretenha — tudo isto mantendo-o acessível e a um preço justo.

O impacto da televisão vai muito para além dos mercados locais. Graças ao poder da conectividade moderna, as histórias dos nossos criadores africanos viajam agora para além das fronteiras — da Nigéria ao Quénia, da África do Sul ao Gana, e para públicos de todo o mundo — através do Showmax e das nossas parcerias internacionais de conteúdos.

Conteúdos como o Big Brother Naija, Shake iLembe, the AMVCAs, bem como eventos da SuperSport como os Jogos Olímpicos o Campeonato do Mundo de Futebol da FIFA e a Taça das Nações Africanas (AFCON da CAF), tornaram-se referências continentais.

A televisão tornou-se também uma ponte que liga África ao mundo e o mundo a África. A MultiChoice orgulha-se de ter ajudado a construir essa ponte.

Ao mesmo tempo, o conteúdo local é a alma da televisão africana. Preserva as nossas línguas, celebra as nossas tradições e projecta a nossa criatividade para o mundo. Através de canais regionais como o Africa Magic, o Maisha Magic e o Zambezi Magic, testemunhamos em primeira mão como a narrativa partilhada promove o entendimento e a união entre as nações africanas.

A televisão tornou-se também um motor das economias de conteúdos. Compreendemos como a produção de novos programas em grande escala nutre as pequenas empresas e sustenta milhares de empregos criativos e técnicos em toda a cadeia de valor africana. Produzimos 5340 horas de conteúdo local no AF2025.

Evolução da TV

O panorama da televisão está a evoluir rapidamente. Observamos o crescimento do consumo híbrido – onde a TV linear e o streaming sob pedido se complementam. A personalização, as recomendações de conteúdos baseadas em inteligência artificial e o consumo prioritariamente em dispositivos móveis estão a remodelar a forma como o público interage.

O conteúdo local continua a ser fundamental – o público procura autenticidade, representatividade e histórias que espelhem as suas realidades. O futuro da TV será impulsionado pelos dados, potenciado pela tecnologia e fundamentado na conexão humana.

Para a MultiChoice, o nosso foco estratégico é mantermo-nos como o principal contador de histórias de África e o parceiro de entretenimento mais fiável. Continuamos a investir em produções locais, tecnologia inovadora e desenvolvimento de talentos criativos.

A televisão revelou-se um canal inestimável para a cultura em todas as suas formas. Em última análise, o nosso objectivo é garantir que todos os lares africanos têm acesso a entretenimento diversificado e de alta qualidade que inspire orgulho, promova ligações e enriqueça vidas – uma história de cada vez.

Afreximbank continue d’’afficher de performances solides pour les neuf mois clos le 30 septembre 2025

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French


La Banque africaine d’Import-Export (Afreximbank ou la « Banque ») (www.Afreximbank.com) et ses filiales (le « Groupe ») ont affiché de solides résultats pour la période de neuf mois close le 30 septembre 2025, soulignant ainsi leur résilience financière continue.

Au cours de cette période, le total des actifs et des dépenses imprévues a augmenté de 6,98 % pour atteindre 42,9 milliards de dollars US, contre 40,1 milliards de dollars US au 31 décembre 2024 (AF 2024), ce qui témoigne de la trajectoire de croissance constante de la Banque.

Alors que les prêts et avances nets ont clôturé à 28,0 milliards de dollars US (Exercice 2024 : 29,0 milliards de dollars US), cette réduction est en grande partie attribuable aux remboursements anticipés imprévus effectués par des clients dont la situation financière s’est améliorée grâce à l’augmentation des flux de trésorerie et au renforcement de leur position en devises étrangères, favorisés par la hausse des prix des matières premières. La qualité des actifs de la Banque reste saine, comme en témoigne un ratio de prêts non performants (NPL) de 2,51 %, contre 2,33 % pour l’exercice 2024.

La position de liquidité de la Banque est restée solide, la trésorerie et les équivalents de trésorerie ayant augmenté pour atteindre 7,6 milliards de dollars US, contre 4,6 milliards de dollars US en 2024. Cette augmentation est due à des initiatives de collecte de fonds réussies et ciblées et à des remboursements anticipés imprévus de la part des clients emprunteurs. Par conséquent, la proportion des actifs liquides par rapport au total des actifs a augmenté et a représenté 20 %, contre 13 % en 2024. Cette solide liquidité place le Groupe en bonne position pour soutenir ses activités de décaissement prévues.

Les fonds des actionnaires ont augmenté pour atteindre 7,7 milliards de dollars US au 30 septembre 2025, soutenus par des bénéfices générés en interne de 654,3 millions de dollars US et de nouvelles entrées de capitaux propres de 224,9 millions de dollars US mobilisés dans le cadre de l’augmentation générale de capital II. Les soldes des fonds des actionnaires déclarés tiennent compte du dividende de 350 millions de dollars US prélevé sur les bénéfices de l’exercice 2024.

En dépit de la baisse des taux de référence, le revenu brut pour les neuf mois clos en septembre 2025 a augmenté pour atteindre 2,4 milliards de dollars US, contre 2,3 milliards de dollars US pour la même période l’année dernière. Le résultat d’exploitation a également augmenté de 5,24 % pour atteindre 1,44 milliard de dollars US, tout en maintenant une forte rentabilité avec un ratio coûts/bénéfice de 21 %, bien en dessous du plafond stratégique de 30 %.

En conséquence, le résultat net a également augmenté, passant de 642,2 millions de dollars US au cours des neuf premiers mois de 2024 à 654,3 millions de dollars US au cours des neuf premiers mois de 2025.

M. Denys Denya, premier vice-président exécutif d’Afreximbank, a déclaré :

« Dans un contexte marqué par des tensions géopolitiques persistantes, des incertitudes mondiales et des conditions financières difficiles, le Groupe a fait preuve de résilience et a affiché des performances satisfaisantes pour la période de neuf mois close le 30 septembre 2025, conformément aux attentes. Cette résilience, qui se traduit par une liquidité solide, une assise financière solide et des actifs de haute qualité, souligne la capacité du Groupe à naviguer dans un environnement opérationnel difficile.  Au-delà du soutien à la rentabilité, la résilience démontrée permettra d’étendre les activités de prêt, de renforcer la capacité du Groupe à remplir a mission et de créer une valeur durable à long terme, conformément au 6e plan stratégique ».

Afreximbank delivers solid, steady performance for the nine months ended 30 September 2025

Source: APO – Report:

.

African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank or the “Bank”) (www.Afreximbank.com) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) delivered solid results for the nine months period ended 30 September 2025, underscoring its continued financial resilience.

During the period, the total assets and contingencies rose by 6.98% to US$42.9 billion, up from US$40.1 billion as at 31 December 2024 (FY’2024), highlighting the Bank’s consistent growth trajectory.

While Net loans and advances closed at US$28.0 billion (FY 2024: US$29.0 billion), the reduction is largely attributable to unscheduled early repayments by clients whose financial positions have improved on account of enhanced cash flows and stronger foreign-currency positions driven by higher commodity prices. The Bank’s asset quality remains sound, evidenced by a Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of 2.51%, compared to 2.33% in FY2024.

The Bank’s liquidity position remained strong, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to US$7.6 billion, up from US$4.6 billion in FY2024. This increase was driven by successful and targeted fundraising initiatives and unscheduled early loan repayments from borrowing customers. As a result, the proportion of liquid assets to total assets increased and accounted for 20%, compared to 13% in FY2024. This solid liquidity positions the Group well to support its planned disbursement activities.

Shareholders’ funds grew to US$7.7 billion as at 30 September 2025, supported by internally generated profits of US$654.3 million and new equity inflows of US$224.9 million mobilised under the General Capital Increase II. The reported Shareholders’ funds balances take into account the US$350 million dividend appropriated from FY’2024 profits.

Despite declining benchmark rates, gross income for the nine months to September 2025, rose to US$2.4 billion compared to US$2.3 billion achieved over the same period last year. Operating income also grew by 5.24% to US$1.44 billion, while maintaining strong cost efficiency with a cost-to-income ratio of 21% which is well below the strategic ceiling of 30%.

Resultantly, Net income also grew, increasing from US$642.2 million in 9M’2024, to US$654.3 million in 9M’2025.

Mr. Denys Denya, Afreximbank’s Senior Executive Vice President, commented:

“Amid persistent geopolitical tensions, global uncertainty, and tight financial conditions, the Group demonstrated resilience and delivered a satisfactory performance for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2025, in line with expectations. This resilience as reflected in strong liquidity, a robust capital base, and high-quality assets, underscores the Group’s ability to navigate through the challenging operating environment. Beyond supporting profitability, the demonstrated resilience will serve as a springboard for expanding lending activities, enhancing capacity to deliver on the Group’s mandate, and creating sustainable long-term value in line with the 6th Strategic Plan”.

Television: An African culture engine

Source: APO – Report:

Television – both its content and its technology – has become the backbone of African culture. As the world marks World Television Day, Dr Busola Tejumola, MultiChoice Executive Head (www.MultiChoice.com), General Entertainment Channels, assesses the impact of a platform still bringing people together after 65+ years on the continent.

As we mark World TV Day, the light that television shines on our society remains undimmed. TV remains one of humanity’s greatest connectors. It informs, educates, inspires and entertains – but more importantly, it helps people see themselves and each other in powerful new ways.

Since TV arrived in Africa in 1959, with the launch of Western Nigeria Television, TV has been a vehicle for social connection, cultural exchange and national pride. It gives us shared moments – whether through sports, news or drama – which shape our collective memory.

Africa’s entertainment ecosystem

MultiChoice, a CANAL+ company, is Africa’s most-loved provider of television entertainment, and incredibly proud of our role in building Africa’s entertainment ecosystem.

Since our launch in 1985, MultiChoice has evolved (https://apo-opa.co/49Zelr6) to consistently meet the needs of African audiences. SuperSport launched in 1986; our analogue service reached 20 countries by 1992; we launched digital satellite technology in 1995; and app-based television in 2014. The Showmax streaming service appeared in 2015.

The Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) has grown into a continental celebration of creative excellence in television. The MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) has produced 486 graduates and continues to train and empower the makers of TV content across the continent.

Constant tech innovation  

We’ve learned that constant technological evolution is key to maintain the relevance of television in the lives our viewers. Our innovation journey has been driven by customer needs. From HD and 4K broadcasts to the DStv Explora and Catch Up, we have continuously developed how people consume content.

The recent rollout of our DStv Stream and the new Showmax platforms has been another leap forward in delivering content across devices while offering personalised recommendations powered by advanced analytics.

We’ve also made strides in local-language interfaces, adaptive streaming, and user-friendly payment, making our technology both inclusive and empowering.

Technology brings wider audiences into the TV ecosystem – across urban and rural areas, and income levels. Through digital migration, mobile viewing, and flexible subscription options, more Africans can now access quality entertainment without limitation.

For people and planet

At MultiChoice, we’ve also come to understand that accessibility means more than just availability – it can also help to ensure that every viewer sees themselves and their culture in Africa’s storytelling journey.

Television has also become a vehicle for ESG impact. On the environmental front, we’re embracing energy-efficient decoders, eco-friendly packaging, and responsible e-waste practices through decoder take-backs and other initiatives.

Socially, our investments in local content production, skills development through MTF, and community storytelling creates sustainable jobs and cultural capital across Africa. From a governance standpoint, we deploy the latest TV technology for content protection, consumer data privacy and responsible advertising.

Enriching lives

Ultimately, television should add value to people’s lives. People want choice, relevance and control. That means providing diverse content offerings, innovative products and personalised experiences.

Today DStv and GOtv offer bouquets priced from US$1, to 50+ countries across Africa, offering subscribers up to 156 linear video channels. The Showmax service is available in 44 markets. Affordable TV platform GOtv launched in 2011 and now reaches eight markets.

We’ve also learned that true customer value comes from giving people content that resonates, informs and entertains — all while keeping it accessible and affordable.

Television’s impact reaches far beyond local markets. Thanks to the power of modern connectivity, the stories of our African creators now travel beyond borders – from Nigeria to Kenya, South Africa to Ghana, and to audiences worldwide – through Showmax and our international content partnerships.

Content like Big Brother Naija, Shake iLembe, the AMVCAs, as well as SuperSport events like the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup and CAF Afcon football have become continental touchstones.

Television has also become a bridge connecting Africa to the world and the world to Africa. MultiChoice is proud to have helped to build that that bridge.

At the same time, local content is the soul of African television. It preserves our languages, celebrates our traditions, and projects our creativity to the world. Through regional channels like Africa Magic, Maisha Magic and Zambezi Magic, we’ve witnessed firsthand how shared storytelling promotes understanding and unity among African nations.

Television has also become a driver of content economies. We’ve come to understand how commissioning new shows at scale nurtures small business and sustains thousands of creative and technical jobs across African value chains. We produced 5 340 hours of local content in FY2025.

TV evolution

The television landscape is evolving rapidly. We see the rise of hybrid viewing – where linear TV and on-demand streaming complement each other. Personalisation, AI-driven content recommendations, and mobile-first consumption are reshaping how audiences engage.

Local content remains king – audiences want authenticity, representation, and stories that reflect their realities. The future of TV will be driven by data, powered by technology, and grounded in human connection.

For MultiChoice, our strategic focus is to remain Africa’s leading storyteller and most trusted entertainment partner. We continue investing in local productions, innovative technology and creative talent development.

Television has shown itself to be an invaluable conduit for culture in all of its forms. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that every African household has access to diverse, high-quality entertainment that inspires pride, fosters connection, and enriches lives – one story at a time.
