In an upfront in August, MultiChoice mentioned that they're working on four Pan-African channels. Three will be added for specific regions while one being a lifestyle channel will likely be available across Africa.
Now this channel is unheard of perhaps MultiChoice wanted to surprise customers with this station.
The channel airs old programs from Zambezi Magic and Africa Magic such as Forbidden, Unbroken, Battleground and Zuba.
There's reasons why the channel could be in South Africa. For starters, Mzansi Magic and KykNet have their own repeat channels (KykNet Lekker and Mzansi Wethu) for lower bouquets except for Africa Magic.
So perhaps the idea for this channel was to repeat certain content from the rest of Africa to help fill up its airtime and make it unique perhaps they'll even supply content from Maisha Magic and Pearl Magic.
At the moment, MultiChoice has no details on the channel and in such cases it does imply that they'll be more details in a new month.
Update: Novela Magic launches 27 November At 6pm CAT on DStv channel 165 maybe this is their way of making up for the delay of tvN. The channel is rumoured to also be added onto the Family package it could change.
