Star Khanya, a Zulu dubbed Bollywood channel operated by JioStar had picked up rights to the Bollywood drama Uthando Lento. Known as Yeh Hai Mohabbatein (This Is Love) in India, the series airs on weeknights at 20:30 from 2nd April.
To South African audiences, Uthando Lento had already been broadcast on the defunct Glow TV brand as This Is Love. Now Star Khanya will be giving DStv consumers the opportunity to complete the show 7 years after it ended.
To recap, Glow TV was removed from DStv as part of extensive review carried out by MultiChoice. This was before any of the shows on Glow TV could wrap productions.
Consumers had to rely on alternatives just to watch Uthando Lento for which there was Openview as it once carried Glow TV. Then there was DStv Indian which featured shows from Glow TV suppliers such as StarPlus, Colors TV and Sony Max.
Now the catch here is that This Is Love is coming back to South African audiences but as Uthando Lento. It's not being picked up by Star Life which aired it's spinoff and has wider reach but is being alienated from most parts of Africa.
It's not airing in English and Hindi which is what would have been the case if it aired on Star Life but Zulu as that is Star Khanya's target market.
Synopsis for Uthando Lento
The story begins with Ishita Iyer, a kind-hearted Tamil dentist who is unable to have children. She forms a deep bond with her neighbour's daughter, Ruhi Bhalla, who is often neglected by her hot-headed Punjabi father, Raman Bhalla.
Raman is embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his ex-wife, Shagun, who left him for his business rival, Ashok Khanna.
To ensure Ruhi stays with a loving mother figure, Raman and Ishita enter into a "marriage of convenience" despite their constant bickering and cultural differences. As they live together, Ishita helps Raman heal from his past.
Uthando Lento will air daily at 20:30 from 2nd April.
Not long ago, it was reported that MultiChoice will be adding Sporty TV to DStv platforms soon most likely in Kenya. As the channel is already distributed on eMedia Investments' Openview platform for viewers in South Africa.
Now it looks like MultiChoice will be adding another TV channel to DStv platforms soon, Zee Dunia.
Zee Dunia is a Swahili and English dubbed Bollywood channel operated by ZEE Africa. It offers storytelling with dramas, romance, action, family shows, movies, local programs, and international news since 2025.
Zee Dunia will be joining Zee TV, Zee Alem, Zee World, Zee Magic, Zee Bollymovies, Zee One and Zee Zonke list of channels to be
It is broadcast on free-to-air platforms like Pang and Signet in Kenya, plus live streaming on its official YouTube channel. It is aimed mainly at Kenyan audiences so there's no doubt that Zee Dunia is aimed at East Africa as seen with Maisha Moto.
Compared to Zee Zonke, most of Zee Dunia's content had already been seen on Zee World. This includes Begusarai, Curse Of The Sands and Zara's Nikah with the only real exceptions being Marafiki Milele and Maisha Yangu Mdundo Wangu.
TLN Network, a Portuguese based entertainment channel operated by TelevisaUnivison will be rolling out Rubi and La Fuerza Del Destino. These shows formed part of TelevisaUnivison 2000s portfolio and recieved international acclaim during its run.
Synopsis for Rubi
The story follows Rubí Pérez, a stunningly beautiful but impoverished university student living in a poor neighborhood with her hardworking sister, Cristina, and their sick mother, Refugio.
Rubí befriends Maribel de la Fuente, a wealthy but shy girl who is self-conscious about a childhood accident that left her with a leg brace. Rubí secretly envies Maribel’s wealth and despises her own poverty.
Through Maribel, Rubí meets two men: Alejandro Cárdenas, a handsome orthopedic doctor, and Héctor Ferrer, a wealthy architect.
Rubí falls deeply in love with Alejandro, but when she discovers he is not a millionaire—he is a middle-class scholar—she cruelly dumps him despite her feelings. She decides to seduce Héctor, Maribel’s fiancé, solely for his money.
It starred Bárbara Mori as Rubí Pérez Ochoa, Eduardo Santamarina as Dr. Alejandro Cárdenas Ruiz, Jacqueline Bracamontes as Maribel de la Fuente, Sebastián Rulli as Héctor Ferrer Garza and Ana Martín as Refugio Ochoa Vda. de Pérez.
Synopsis for La Fuerza Del Destino
The story begins in Álamos, Sonora, where 14-year-old Iván Villagómez and his mother, Alicia, return to seek recognition from his biological father, the wealthy and powerful Juan Jaime Mondragón. Juan Jaime rejects them, forcing Alicia to work as a servant for the Lomelí Curiel family.
As a young man, Iván is seduced by the frivolous Maripaz Lomelí Curiel, who becomes pregnant. To hide the scandal and protect their family's name, Maripaz's mother, Lucrecia, orders her thugs to beat Iván. During the confrontation, a man is killed, and Iván is framed for the murder. With no other choice, he flees illegally to the United States.
In Los Angeles, Iván is adopted by a kind businessman, Anthony McGuire, who provides him with an education and a new identity as Iván McGuire. Eleven years later, Iván returns to Mexico as a successful professional to clear his name and find his mother, only to discover she has died.
He soon finds himself entangled with the Lomelí Curiel family once more, but this time his focus shifts to Lucía, Maripaz’s virtuous younger sister who has loved him since they were children. Together, they must navigate a web of secrets.
It starred David Zepeda as Iván, Sandra Echeverría as Lucía, Gabriel Soto as Camilo, Laisha Wilkins as Maripaz, Juan Ferrara as Juan Jaime and Alejandro Tommasi as Gerardo.
Every family protects its secrets. But when a legacy is built on blood, betrayal, and deception, accountability becomes the ultimate price to pay. This is the world of Emzini, e.tv’s new prime-time daily drama set in the vibrant, fast-paced heart of Alexandra Township.
Centred on a popular and lucrative lounge of the same name, Emzini unfolds in a world where power, status, and family legacy are everything. On the surface, the brand carries all the hallmarks of success: wealth, influence, and a commanding presence in the community. Below that surface lies a history of personal sacrifice, moral compromise, and decisions that can never be undone.
The Creative Vision:
Emzini is brought to life by respected storyteller Loyiso Maqoma, whose work on Imbewu: The Seed and Smoke and Mirrors has built sustained audience loyalty through emotionally layered narratives and authentic South African storytelling. The series is executive produced by Zuko Nodada, the same creative team behind Smoke and Mirrors, returning to the 9 PM slot with another story that earns its place there.
The show’s visual identity reflects its central tension. The gold logo anchors the Emzini brand in the wealth, power, and premium lifestyle associated with the family’s successful lounge business, while the tagline “Family Legacy”cuts to the heart of the story: a dynasty built through ambition, sacrifice, and difficult choices. The creative direction holds both sides of that tension without resolving it. The glamour is real, and so is the cost.
The opening title track was created to carry that same weight. Haunting and deeply symbolic, it was composed with the director’s conceptual vision at its core, specifically the image of blood being washed away, a powerful metaphor for a past that cannot be outrun. The track draws on themes of ancestry, sacrifice, and consequence, reinforcing what the series asks of its audience: that every legacy leaves a mark.
Additional details about the Emzini cast and creative team will be announced in the coming weeks.
eExtra, a South African based channel operated by eMedia Investments that offers dubbed telenovelas from Turkey and around the world has announced the rollout of India: A Love Story. The Brazilian Drama replaces Kuma: The Other Wife in April.
Synopsis for India: A Love Story
Maya, a modern woman working at a call centre, falls deeply in love with Bahuan. Her world is shattered when she learns Bahuan is a Dalit (an "untouchable"), making a relationship between them a social taboo.
Raj is an executive who fell in love with Duda, a Brazilian woman, while working abroad. His traditional family, led by his strict father Opash, refuses to allow him to marry a foreigner.
Under intense family pressure, Maya and Raj are forced to abandon their "impossible" loves and enter into an arranged marriage with each other. Maya enters the marriage with a massive secret: she is pregnant with Bahuan's child.
Known in Brazil as Caminho das Índias, it was broadcast on 19 January 2009 and concluded on 11 September 2009 after 160 episodes internationally.
It starred Juliana Paes as Maya Meetha, Rodrigo Lombardi as Raj Ananda, Letícia Sabatella as Yvone Oliveira Magalhães, Tony Ramos as Opash Ananda, Alexandre Borges as Raul Cadore and Débora Bloch as Sílvia Cadore.
Prior to its rollout on eExtra, India: A Love Story was initially slated to rollout on the now defunct eBella channel before getting pulled off from the lineup. The drama was also broadcast on M-Net's Mzansi Magic alongside the former Caribbean Love.
India: A Love Story will broadcast weekdays at 23:00 from 21 April.
Now it's scheduled to broadcast on eExtra from 14 April at 09:00 when most viewers will not be in their homes during this time.
The short-lived drama series likely had low ratings during its broadcast on e.tv which is why it went to eExtra. Even Broken Vows was met with a similar fate before getting redirected to eExtra.
Unlike Broken Vows, e.tv had misled the viewers labelling Uzozisola Regrets removal on the channel as an "finale". While those who already saw it on Glow TV know that wasn't the case and others that could only see on e.tv will be missing out.
The reality here is that eMedia Investments shunned this offering on eExtra to weekday mornings or late nights. Despite the existence of ePlesier and daily repeats on e.tv, rebroadcasts to Dokter Ali, Chrysalis and Yosef take up these timeslots.
That even getting to shows like Naagin, This Is Love and Two Women is just a luxury that viewers aren't willing to latch by the horns.
The last anyone got word on the ratings for eExtra it had around 300,000 to 500,000 viewers for shows like Gebroke Harte. Then there was Annekan Die Swa Kry which had 1.8 million viewers on e.tv and now imagine if that was Uzozisola: Regrets.
For Gebroke Harte and Annekan Die Swa Kry these were primetime slots where the viewership is larger compared to Uzozisola: Regrets where it's lower.
Star Khanya, a Zulu dubbed Bollywood entertainment channel operated by JioStar will be rolling out a new series called Impilo Kasuman. Known in India as Suman Indori, it will broadcast on the channel daily at 6PM CAT.
Synopsis for Impilo Kasuman
The central plot revolves around Suman's reluctant marriage to Teerth Mittal (Zain Imam), an ambitious politician from a powerful family.
Suman’s brother, Rishi, is a loyal supporter of Teerth. During a protest, Rishi is critically injured and, as a deathbed request, begs Teerth to marry Suman to ensure her protection.Teerth, originally set to marry his sister-in-law’s sister, Kritika, for political leverage, agrees to the marriage to preserve his public image and out of a sense of duty to Rishi.
Once Suman enters the Mittal household, she faces intense opposition from Devika (Anita Hassanandani), the manipulative elder daughter-in-law (jethani).
Suman eventually suspects that her brother's death was not an accident but a murder orchestrated by Devika and her associates. Much of the series follows her efforts to find clues and expose Devika’s true nature.
Based on the Colors Kannada's TV series Kendasampige, Impilo Kasuman was broadcast on Colors TV on 3 September 2024 and concluded on 27 April 2025 after 236 episodes.
It starred Ashnoor Kaur as Suman Sharma Mittal, Zain Imam as Teerth Mittal, Anita Hassanandani as Devika Gupta Mittal, Sai Ballal as Chandrakant Mittal, Nishigandha Wad as Geetanjali Mittal and Aman Sharma as Gururaj Mittal.
A few years ago, eMedia Investments removed South African based entertainment channel Glow TV from their platforms. With no other platform available to package the channel, Nismedia that served as the parent company ended it's operations.
Since then, various shows from Glow TV had started to resurface in South Africa with the short lived Uzozisola - Regrets on e.tv while Star Life aired Saras & Kumud and Forbidden Love. Now Star Life will expand this lineup with You Are My Love.
Synopsis for You Are My Love
The story revolves around the intense love story of Pankti Sharma, a beautiful, kind-hearted young girl with dreams of becoming a successful singer, and Ahaan Dhanrajgir, a charming, aspiring rockstar musician from a wealthy family.
Pankti lives under the control of her materialistic and failed actress mother, Anita Sharma, who is deeply in debt and bankrupt. In a shocking and exploitative twist, Anita "sells" her daughter Pankti to JD (Jayant Dhanrajgir)—Ahaan's rich, powerful, cruel, manipulative, and much older uncle—for money to sustain her lavish lifestyle. Pankti is forced into a exploitative arrangement as JD's mistress, trapping her in a life of emotional and financial bondage.
When Ahaan meets Pankti, he falls deeply in love with her at first sight, and she reciprocates his feelings. Ahaan, unaware at first of the dark reality behind Pankti's situation, becomes determined to rescue her, help her pursue her singing dreams, and free her from JD's clutches. Their romance faces immense obstacles, including family opposition, JD's ruthless interference, betrayal, societal judgment, and dramatic twists involving blackmail, revenge, and emotional turmoil.
Known in India as Tu Aashiqui and broadcast on Glow TV as The Cost Of Love. It was broadcast on 20 September 2018 and concluded on 12 October 2018 on Colors TV after 288 half hour episodes.
It starred Jannat Zubair Rahmani as Singer Pankti Dhanrajgir, Ritvik Arora as Musician Ahaan Dhanrajgir, Rahil Azam as Jayant Dhanrajgir, Gauri Pradhan as Anita Sharma, Rushal Parekh as Uday Mathur and Nidhi Shah as Poorva Sharma.
You Are My Love will broadcast daily at 16:00 CAT from 19 March on Star Life.
Star Life, a Bollywood based channel operated by JioStar has announced that they'll be launching a new series called Mannat. Known in India as Mannat – Har Khushi Paane Ki, the series will air daily at 21:30 from 19 March.
Synopsis for Mannat
The story is set in vibrant Mumbai and centers on Mannat, a talented, happy-go-lucky, and determined young chef who aspires to become one of India's renowned chefs. Abandoned as a newborn at Marine Drive by her biological mother, she was saved by a young boy and raised by her loving maternal aunt (maasi), Shruti, whom she initially believes to be her mother.
After graduating from culinary college, Mannat lands her first job at a high-end restaurant called "Mezbaani," owned by the cold, ruthless, and critical Aishwarya (her biological mother, who abandoned her) and her business partner Vikrant Saluja (the male lead, who becomes supportive and romantically involved with Mannat).
Unaware of her true origins, Mannat faces challenges in the professional world, including prejudice due to her disadvantaged background. Aishwarya, initially harsh toward Mannat and even fires her at one point, shares a deep but hidden connection with her. The narrative explores Mannat's journey to fulfill her career dreams while uncovering shocking truths about her birth, family ties, and identity.
It starred Ayesha Singh as Mannat Khanna, Adnan Khan as Aman "Vikrant" Saluja, Mona Vasu as Sonia "Aishwarya" Khanna Raisingh, Manit Joura as DCP Dhairya Kumar, Mamata Verma as Shruti Khanna and Yami Khandelwal / Trisha Sharda as Dua Saluja.
Since it's inception on Colors TV, Mannat continues to be broadcast on the channel with over 390 episodes having being filmed. It will join Noyontara: The Hidden Truth as another TV show to have aired on Colors TV.
Mannat will broadcast daily on Star Life from 19 March at 21:30 CAT replacing Sweet Love.
Zee One, a Bollywood based entertainment channel operated by Zee Entertainment Enterprises offering English dubbed content has announced the addition of a new show, Parineeta. It is scheduled to broadcast daily on Zee One from 28 March.
Synopsis for Zee One
The story begins with the contrasting worlds of Parul, an ambitious girl with a thirst for knowledge, and Rayan, a wealthy, sharp-tongued city-bred man.
Their lives collide when a series of events—including threats from a local character named Tapoti—compels Rayan and Parul into an unwanted marriage. Rayan initially rejects Parul, harboring deep resentment from their brief, antagonistic time at university.
After moving into the domineering Basu household headed by Rayan's grandfather, Ashutosh, Parul faces constant hostility from Rayan and a complex love triangle involving Shirin, who attempts to sabotage her at every turn.
Parineeta debuted on Zee Bangla on November 11, 2024 and since then over 470 half hour episodes have been produced. It starred Parul Adhikari as Ishani Chatterjee, Rayan Basu as Uday Pratap Singh and Shirin as Surabhi Mallick.
Parineeta premieres 28 March 2026 on Zee One replacing Padamatis Love. Other shows set to rollout on the channel during the month include How Do I Say This and Undercover Love.
Before Star Life and Zee One, there was eExtra that brought India to South Africa with shows like Madhubala, Yeh Teri Galiyan and Piyaa Albela. But in recent months, it appears that eExtra's Kuiertyd is building up it's airtime on the channel.
By the afternoon, eExtra now has daily repeats of Yosef, Sout Van Die Aarde, Chrysalis and Dokter Ali. This was the timeslot used to accommodate ramp up it's rivalled offering for Star Life now that's been reduced to a one hour slot for Naagin.
Empress In The Palace, a former show on eExtra has since found its way onto eSeries. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if eMedia Investments decided to move all its Asian stories to eSeries in order to combat with those repeats.
As for Bollywood dramas, I feel like eExtra's story had come to an end I mean it never gained much recognition. For DStv viewers, there was Zee World with Glow TV on Openview and with it's afternoon slot most viewers were probably at work by then.
It could never garner the Zee World recognition it deserved even with Star Life and Zee One only airing repeats by then.
As for Kuiertyd, that's another story as Ouma Sarie and Droomvelore's broadcast on e.tv those shows were able to attract over 3 million viewers. Their continued success led KykNET to ramp up their own portfolio with Dikker As Water and Landman.
For sometime now, several Openview consumers didn't really see the need of having eExtra air these shows. Especially since eMedia Investments had been outsourcing from their competitors who had branded channels (i.e. Zee One) on Openview.
This market as some people recall has been overcrowded on both DStv and Openview. Not that it's a bad thing but in scenarios like this it's hard for a broadcaster like eExtra to offer alternatives if there's bigger prey out there.
Zee Zonke, a Zulu dubbed Bollywood entertainment channel operated by Zee Entertainment Enterprises has unveiled a new series, Impilo Ka Vaidehi. Known in India as Vaidehi Parinayam, the Telegu series launches on the 16th of March.
Synopsis for Impilo Ka Vaidehi
It follows Vaidehi, a kind-hearted orphan who lives with her adoptive family. Her life changes drastically when her sister, an aspiring actress, runs away just before her wedding. To save her family's reputation, Vaidehi is compelled to take her sister's place and marry Devansh.
Devansh, the male lead, has lost faith in the institution of marriage due to the failure of his brother's relationship. He initially enters the union with skepticism. The two protagonists are first brought together by a "mysterious accident" that sets the stage for their eventual marriage.
Vaidehi begins to build a life and a new identity within Devansh’s family. However, this stability is threatened when her sister returns. Most of the series focuses on Devansh gradually moving past his trauma and learning to love Vaidehi as they navigate various family schemes and internal conflicts.
It starred Yuktha Malnad (credited as Anjana) as Vaidehi, Pavan Ravindra as Devansh (Ram) and Karuna Bhushan as Urmila. With Dileep Shetty and Aishwarya set to have recurring roles.
The show ran for over 500 episodes, concluding its original run in mid-2023.
Zee Zonke, a Zulu dubbed Bollywood entertainment channel operated by Zee Entertainment Enterprises has unveiled a new series, Amanga Nothando. Known in India as Shravani Subramanya, the Kannada series launches on the 16th of March.
Synopsis for Amanga Nothando
Veerendranath Desai, a high-ranking minister, mistakenly blames his daughter, Shravani, for all the misfortunes in his life. Shravani, despite never receiving his affection, constantly craves his love and approval.
To please her father, Shravani initially agrees to marry the man he chooses for her, Madan.
Upon discovering Madan's "sinister intentions" and that her aunt Vijaya is plotting to steal the family property, Shravani feigns a marriage with Subramanya (Subbu) to escape the situation.
Subbu works as a trusted right-hand man for Veerendranath. He is aware of the family dynamics and actively tries to bridge the gap between the father and daughter.
Shravani's aunt, Vijaya, is the primary antagonist. She manipulates Veerendranath into believing she is the "Lakshmi" (blessing) of the house while secretly planning to marry Shravani to her own son to secure their wealth.
Amanga Nothando starred Amogh Aaditya as Subramanya (Subbu), Asiya Firdose as Shravani, Mohan as Veerendranath Sardesai, Balaraj as Ananthapadmanabha (Padmanabha), Chaithra Rao as Moksha and Apoorvashree as Vishalakshi.
As of March 2026, the series has aired over 530 episodes and continues to release new content.
Following the success of eExtra's Kuiertyd, eMedia Investments expanded its content slate to include Bollywood shows in Zulu with the launch of Uzozisola - Regrets. This served as the company's first attempt at rivalling with Zee Zonke on DStv.
This would compliment eExtra's existing Bollywood slate like Naagin and Twist Of Fate.
As for Uzozisola - Regrets, the show had already been broadcast on Openview as Complicated Love by the now defunct Glow TV. Some viewers were probably reliving the nostalgia while others got to see it for the very first time.
Synopsis for Uzozisola - Regrets
Uzozisola – Regrets delves into the emotional complexities of relationships - friendship, love, and betrayal. The story follows Kunal, a seemingly successful young man happily married to Mauli. Kunal’s life takes a tumultuous turn when he unexpectedly falls for Nandini, Mauli's former best friend, who had once found solace in their companionship during her own troubled marriage. As these intertwined relationships unfold, the characters grapple with deep-seated emotions and moral dilemmas, leading to a poignant exploration of regret and the consequences of choices made in moments of vulnerability.
Uzozisola - Regrets debuted on e.tv from 25 August 2025 and after 5 months and 128 episodes e.tv decided to pull the plug on the show. This would join other cancelled shows like Kelders Van Geheime, Scandal!, Smokes & Mirrors and House Of Zwide.
Unlike the latter that will most definitely be able to wrap up remaining storylines. Uzozisola - Regrets will not get that chance as e.tv removed the show from its lineup alongside that of eExtra with it's last broadcast labelled as "the final chapter".
Uzozisola - Regrets has two seasons with 199 in season 1 in which e.tv aired 128 with 99 episodes in season 2. It is unclear whether these remaining episodes will be seen and if they were it's likely not going to be on e.tv but eExtra.
Last month, e.tv underwent a schedule change for its primetime shows with Uzozisola - Regrets that was moved two hours later from 20:30 to 22:30. It was crammed with repeats of Gold Diggers and Ashes To Ashes where viewership is much smaller.
e.tv has announced that two of its flagship dramas, House of Zwide and Kelders van Geheime, will come to an end as the channel prepares to introduce new programming.
House of Zwide will air its final episode on 26 June 2026, concluding a five-season run that centred on the rise and tensions within a powerful fashion dynasty. The series became one of the channel’s most recognisable brands, building a loyal following and placing the local fashion industry at the heart of prime-time storytelling.
The show, produced by Bomb Productions, helped launch and elevate several acting careers while exploring themes of ambition, legacy and resilience against a backdrop of glamour and rivalry.
The Afrikaans telenovela Kelders van Geheime will conclude two months later, with its final episode scheduled for 28 August 2026. Produced by K Films and Videovision Entertainment, the series drew viewers into a world of family secrets, betrayal and redemption.
The drama recently earned eight nominations at the 19th SA Film and Television Awards, underscoring its critical recognition within the industry.
In a statement on Thursday, the broadcaster said both series were conceived with clear narrative arcs and that concluding them at their creative peaks reflects its commitment to quality storytelling.
“Concluding them at their creative peaks, rather than stretching beyond their intended arcs, reflects e.tv’s commitment to quality storytelling and respect for its audiences,” the channel said.
e.tv thanked the casts, crews, writers and production partners for bringing the shows to life, as well as the viewers who supported them over the years.
The broadcaster said the endings mark the close of two popular television worlds and the beginning of a new chapter in its drama slate.
As some people may recall, Canal+ took control of MultiChoice by late 2025 and are planning to save up at R7.5 billion in costs by 2030. This prompted them not to acquire the Winter Olympics on SuperSport and abandon HBO on M-Net.
Despite what anyone thinks about Canal+, let's face it MultiChoice has been losing subscribers and the French are just doing the heavy lifting. Several insiders had stated that consumers should expect more cuts during the course of the year.
But then most consumers are kind of curious as to whether they'll be a price increase and if not why they should continue to pay more for even less now.
We're already halfway into February and now there's reports that production on local content has been paused/delayed. This is because Canal+ is slashing costs at MultiChoice with efforts being redirected from Johannesburg to Paris.
According to reports, numerous contracts for local series and soap operas are unsigned by Canal+. This would explain why there has yet to be word whether iThonga is getting renewed as the first season concludes this month on Mzansi Magic.
There's fears that Canal+ will prioritize on foreign series as seen with the recently added show on KykNET, The Landman. This part shouldn't come as a shocker because the owners are based in France and majority of content is dubbed there.
MultiChoice has been leaning toward this path post the takeover as seen with Zee Zonke and Star Khanya. Even international brands like Cartoon Network and Cartoonito are also starting to dub animated shows to Zulu.
This delay has also led some to believe that Canal+ will further reduce primetime in favour of archived material such as Isibaya on Mzansi Magic.
Only the strongest will survive! Ninja Warrior UK challenges athletes and regular contestants to take on one of the most challenging obstacle courses ever. They try to make it to the finish line with strength, speed, and determination. Who will conquer the course?
