Calvo's message

A window into our world of more than entertainment

Africa is a diverse continent with huge potential to deliver prosperity for its people. As an African company, we are deeply invested to contribute to that prosperity. For the last 40 years, we've been delivering video entertainment services to 50 countries across Africa. We currently reach 21.8 million households.

Our contribution is about so much more than delivering video entertainment and consumer services. Our purpose is to enrich lives. We see ourselves as an integral part of every community in which we operate. We want to ensure we deliver initiatives that address the issues in those communities and make a lasting impact. These initiatives aim to address socio-economic challenges including employment, contributing to the fiscus and empowering small businesses to grow.

CEO'S MESSAGE

The MultiChoice Talent Factory

MultiChoice connects over 100 million people across the African continent through world-class entertainment and content provided across more than 120 channels. We offer the best local and international content programming in 40 different languages.

All these many hours of content have to be created by MultiChoice or acquired from elsewhere. We decided to launch the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) in 2014, so that Africans can tell their own stories. MTF is the platform through which MultiChoice can provide the skills and resources to do so.

Our MultiChoice Talent Factory functions through two distinct initiatives. The first is to identify and nurture young talent, with the second pillar being to further upgrade the skills of those professionals already active in the industry.
