December 2021 On Disney Africa | MultiChoice Carry The Channels Through 2024 | New Series Alert: Ghostforce FINALLY Airs On Disney Channel Alongside A New Festive Movie | Disney Junior Continues On From November With A Little Help | More Content To Get You In The Festive Spirit

Image
The Walt Disney Company has renewed their contract with MultiChoice through 2024 meaning viewers have another 2 years to enjoy Disney Channel and Disney Junior once Disney+ launches in South Africa. Later this year, The Walt Disney Company announced plans to close off 100 channels internationally by the end of 2021 and who would have guessed that being those markets that are almost last in everything could work in our favor. Disney+ launched in 2019 and South Africa has to wait till June 2022 with the rest of Africa possibly waiting till 2023 so the deadline only seemed logical considering the timeframe. If I had to guess, Disney Channel and Disney Junior will likely go off air by the end of 2023 (December 31st, 2023 at 23:59; round it off it takes you to 2024). By then Disney+ should be available in most African markets if not all as yet kind of similar to Asia.
