Brendan Peel working on a new series

The multi-award-winning magician and illusionist wowed international audiences in Europe, where he received a standing ovation on the set of Romania’s Got Talent.

He most recently kicked off his “Impossible” tour in Pretoria and will travel throughout the country. He is set to visit Durban and his home town of Gqeberha in March as well as other cities.

Through a post, it was confirmed that he was filming a series for DStv which is scheduled to released sometime in May.

 

Die Kontrak coming to eExtra
'Die Kontrak' is the popular TV talent search program where a record contract from the prestigious Coleske group can be released. The program premiered in 2018 and Demi Lee Moore was announced as the winner.

Now it's time for another singer with a big dream to come true and the mentors have only two weeks, before entries close on April 29, to select their contestants from the online entries to become part of the Top 26 .

 
 

'The Contract' has four mentors, each of whom will eventually coach only two participants.

When the program starts airing on eExtra in August, all of the mentors' participants will each receive an unsigned Coleske record deal and compete against each other to retain that contract. After each episode, the Big Boss will tear up one contestant's contract until he finally gives that signature that will change a life.

Moja Love CEO Message To Their Loyal Fans

(new features for desktop users)
Dear Colleagues,

This year has been the most challenging for our channel, but it has certainly been the most thrilling year for our viewers, who were spoilt for choice with our rich and diverse content. The steps we take today, will define the character of our country for many years to come. I have enormous pride in what we have accomplished as we continue to transform Moja Love into one of the most loved channels in South Africa.

Working as a team and supporting each other, particularly during the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, has illustrated the strength of the Moja Love family and their mentality. As a channel, we have never been short of ambition. We've never been satisfied with the status quo and we will continue with our vision - empowering and creating more positive memories for our viewers.

Your resilience and creativity has ensured our businesses continue to perform at the highest level. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your hardwork and dedication. I am confident that we will enter the new year, strongly positioned, renewed in spirit and determination, and prepared for more progress and success.

It is not easy to match the creativity standards of the women at Moja Love, from Head of the Channel, Bokani Moyo to Executive producers Shoki Langa, Livhuwani Dagadi, Bongi Ndaba, Hlengiwe Ndela, Lindiwe Klaaste Media and the producers Thato Nawe, Nthati Molefe, Julia Machete, Hermina Mathlong, Nolwazi Hlatswayo to Shuga Motlanthe. These women are intelligent, creative, brave and above everything, they are disciplined and dedicated. Experiencing the culture of work ethics and thinking out of the box always fuels me to take the Moja Love to an even greater heights. Our late chair the lovely Dr Vuyo Mahlati may her soul rest in peace used to say "halala halala halala".

As a team, we educate and entertain, but more importantly, enrich the lives of our people by telling the stories that reflect the rich diversity of our country. We continue to pursue our goal of being Mzansi's best producer of media content, spreading the message of peace, love, kindness and appreciation while holding true to our values and commitment to change for the better, including our support for those who are vulnerable.

Many of our shows from Dlozilam, Lenyalo Le Thata, You Promised To Marry Me, Mamazala, AmaBishop, Mina Nawe, Uyaphuza, Umdeni, Isencane Lengane, Uyajola 99, Housemaids, Ostofoza, Rea Tsotella, Uthando Noxolo, Skipha Amafiles and Single Mingle are among Mzansi's best performing and loved programs. We produce compelling TV programs that captures the viewers' mind, educate and inspire them.

We are stronger because of everyone's dedication. I am very grateful for your efforts and very proud of the team's performance.

I urge you to continue and keep the creative fires burning. Nothing has or will serve us better than the exceptional creativity that comes from our talented teams, from the crew, finance, sales and marketing, post-production, covid marshals, security, drivers, presenters, cast members and everyone else involved in the creative process.

My sincere best wishes to you and your families for the holidays. Merry Christmas and a Prosperous new year.

You can find me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

New Channel Alert: Moja 9.9. Coming Soon To DStv?


Official logo

(This is not the official logo for Moja 9.9.)

Moja Love might be getting a companion soon. For now it's too early to confirm anything but apparently MultiChoice stacked up some content from this brand on Moja 9.9.

The name originated from one of the shows listed on this "new channel" which is Zodwa that is starting from scratch on this supposed channel.

Other shows listed on this channel include Meet The Khambules and Isencane Lengane both of which aired on Moja Love. That's pretty much the only thing for the channel maybe they'll add more close to its launch.

Moja Love has been around for 3 years and already MultiChoice feels it's okay to launch a rewind channel for the brand but channels such as BET2 and SABC Encore had to be axed.

Since everything on this channel is just a repeat and not that OLD I wouldn't be stunned if it joined KykNet Lekker and is made available exclusively to Access (and Easyview) customers on channel 158/9.

By the looks of it, I wouldn't even be surprised if MultiChoice decided to launch an extra channel for Honey or even revive SABC Encore. Even the idea of them possibly adding Boing and Toonami that serve as repeat channels to Cartoon Network don't seem far fetched at this point.

MOJA 9.9. LAUNCHES ON DSTV ACCESS


Siyaya TV and MultiChoice will be launching Moja 9.9 (DStv 158) as a spin-off repeat channel of the existing Moja Love channel on 16 June, repositioning and repeating already-seen content of the Moja Love channel for lower-tiered DStv subscribers.


Moja 9.9 will become available to DStv Access subscribers only, with Moja Love that has been available over the past 3 years for DStv Premium to DStv Family subscribers with a popular blend of conflict-driven lifestyle-reality content with a firm tabloid slant.


The name of the Moja 9.9 channel spin-off derives from the slang word "moja" meaning "everything is good" while the "9.9" means confronting truth, similar to the hugely popular Uyajola 99 cheater- tabloid reality show.


Siyaya TV says that the name of Moja 9.9 "is aligned to the content it will deliver, which mainly mirrors what is happening in our communities and resonates with the channel's target audience. The 24-hour channel will be filled with locally produced shows and primarily targeted at women, with a spillover of male audiences". Aubrey Tau, Siyaya TV CEO, says "Ten years ago, our team began to imagine what a channel, inspired by our vision and values, could mean to viewers across Mzansi. In an increasingly crowded landscape, Moja Love has emerged as one of the leading destinations for viewers across TV screens".


"Creating the Moja Love brand and seeing it flourish, supported by the talented team that includes the channel head, exco, executive producers, producers, editors, crews working with a group of the finest storytellers and creators in television, is one of Siyaya TV proudest achievements as a black-owned company."


"We are thrilled about the channel's success and excited about the next chapter, the launch of the second channel, Moja 9.9, in partnership with MultiChoice. We will continue to inspire our viewers with rave, real stories that are relatable and resonate with audience." Yolisa Phahle, MultiChoice Group CEO of General Entertainment and Connected Video, says "Moja 9.9 adds to the already vibrant content available on DStv Access and is sure to spark conversations and debates for many viewers".


"DStv customers who are on the DStv Access package can look forward to watching some of South Africa’s most-talked about local shows that were previously on Moja Love (DStv 157). All this great content will only be available to DStv Access subscribers, allowing more South Africans to enjoy the best of local content that DStv has to offer."


Start Somewhere is a new debate show that will start on 16 June and that will be shown on both Moja Love and Moja 9.9 and that will "touch on thought-provoking topics around challenges that young people face".


Moja Love says that young viewers "will be given sage advice from mentors and social influencers on how to pursue their ambitions".
