Reaching into our communities

Partnerships for good

Collaboration is becoming key in today’s world of business. The exponential pace of change in consumer demand and commercial technologies means that only a handful of mammoth organisations can attempt to be everything to everyone – there’s simply too much to produce and manage.

Although a large corporation in itself, MultiChoice has embraced the opportunity to amplify our services and create value by collaborating with the ‘right fit’ partners. Our portfolio of offerings has been greatly boosted by commercial partnerships, while our partners have been enriched and grown alongside MultiChoice.

In terms of our corporate citizenship in countries across Africa, MultiChoice has partnered with entities involved in education, technological innovation, television, hospitality and media. As part of these initiatives, we award bursaries and sponsor training across the continent.

Partnerships for good

Partner: United Nations

MultiChoice Group partnered with the United Nations in 2020, harnessing the power of its platforms to spread credible and accurate information about the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, MTF alumni collaborated on the “Together we can” campaign, encouraging people across Africa to continue observing COVID-19 safety protocols.

Regional TV stations are uniquely placed to serve as both a location-specific content and entertainment to their viewers, and to serve as a training ground for young people looking to break into the industry. MultiChoice partnered with three regional TV stations to bolster their news coverage in their respective provinces.

Partner: Training Centre for Journalists (CEFOJOR)

Country: Angola

The Angolan media industry is facing one of the most challenging periods in history after the end of the war in 2002 – the 2008 financial crash and the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in several outlets closing their print publications. Investigative journalism was a low priority in the country. In an effort to help boost this industry, MultiChoice partnered with CEFOJOR to provide workshops to students and journalists from various media in the country.
