During the week, it was reported MultiChoice had begun work another TV channel likely pertaining to Soweto TV due to the latter Faith Cooking and Ladies In Heels. Prior to the channel's possible rollout, One Freestate Televisual will be allocated on the DStv platform.

From what we can gather, this is most likely another community channel I mean it wouldn't seem far fetched. Firstly, they're currently working through an SD feed and most premium channels like BBC Lifestyle, Mzansi Magic and TLC had all been migrated to HD.

If it's any consolation, this untitled TV channel had acquired broadcasting rights to The Girl (La Niña) from Caracol Televisión while as Soweto TV broadcasts River Of Passions (Niche, Lo Que Diga El Corazón) - coincidence.

Based on real life events, it follows a young woman who was part of the guerrilla force now seeks a better life in the city. She wants to study medicine, to heal instead of hurt, but she'll have a challenge since being part of outside-the-law groups always leaves consequences.

The series was broadcast on Caracol Televisión from 26 April 2016 to 16 September 2016 with 86 episodes each with a 45 minute duration. It starred Ana María Estupiñán as Belky/Sara, Sebastián Eslava as Manuel Monsalve and Marcela Benjumea as Mireya Pinzón.
