EbonyLife TV Expands To South Africa

Weeks after its founder, Mo Abudu, celebrated her 50th birthday, EbonyLife TV has extended its programmes to Southern Africa.


The channel was hitherto available to DStv customers in 44 countries in West, East and Central Africa.



Since its inauguration in July 2013, EbonyLife TV has grown to become one of the most prominent platforms for what its management
calls premium entertainment with Afrocentric perspectives.




"With over 1000 hours of premium, original and inspiring African programming from a variety of
genres – including reality, talk shows, drama, entertainment, food, politics, music, news, lifestyle, and comedy shows – EbonyLife TV is aimed at youth aged 18 to 34 who constantly yearn for real African content that speaks to their shared values," it says, adding that Abudu
is particularly pleased at the development.




"We're extremely excited about EbonyLife TV's extension into the Southern African and South African markets, barely a year after our launch.



This expansion is due to our success in the rest of Africa. We're proud of the fact that we are a 100 per cent homegrown," she is quoted as saying.



Among other programmes, EbonyLife is featuring dramas such as An African City, Dowry, Learning Curves, Shuga and Married to the Game.
