On top of the news that MultiChoice plans to rollout an East African movie channel I mentioned earlier called Maisha Magic Movies. It looks like they want to compliment the offering with Maisha Magic.
Maisha Magic Plus is the Kenyan version of Mzansi Wethu which features a variety of local series including Selena Kona, Kiva, Sol Family and Hullaballo Estate. This one has been active in Kenya since 2020.
Maisha Magic Plus is a new East African movie channel MultiChoice was hyping about in their FY22 presentation. According to the guide, the channel will showcase the best of Ugandan, Tanzanian and Kenyan films so yeah it exists to compliment Africa Magic Epic.
Details on the dates and channel numbers will be unveiled VERY SOON. From what I can tell both channels won't be available in HD and it seems more likely for them to be available in Southern Africa since most of the series isn't viewable on Novela Magic while the movies can't be distributed on Africa Magic since it's focus is on West Africa.
Maisha Magic Plus is available on channel 163 in Kenya to DStv Access customers so if I had to guess South Africans will likely find it on channels 140-159 from Access and upwards while the new channel Maisha Magic Movies is made available to either Compact or Family customers in the same channel number area as Maisha Magic Plus.
According to sources in other African markets, Maisha Magic Movies launches 26 July and broadcasts 15 hours a day from the Compact package.
