Zombies 2 Coming Soon To Disney Channel Africa (SPOILER INCLUDED GO TO THE BOTTOM TO AVOID)

In the earlier days of Seabrook, settlers fought off a group of werewolves from a moonstone that they have since kept hidden underground. In the present, time has passed since Seabrook and Zombietown settled their differences. Zed plans to ask Addison to the prawn, while Addison works to become the new cheer captain when Bucky steps down to become president. Due to a road incident caused by Zed's prawnposal, the bus carrying the cheerleaders crashes into the nearby forbidden forest; Addison and the cheer team see the werewolves. When they get back to Seabrook, the whole town freaks, and the mayor reinstates the anti-monster laws. This notably means that the zombies cannot go to prawn. Zed realizes if he runs for president, he can change things for both the zombies and werewolves.

Meanwhile, the local werewolves are getting sick. They have moonstone necklaces which give them the werewolf abilities; without them, they can die. These moonstones are losing their power, so they need to find the moonstone in order to recharge their necklaces. Prophecy states that a girl with white hair, called the Great Alpha, will show them where this moonstone is. They begin to suspect Addison is the Great Alpha, so they enroll at Seabrook High to get closer to her, which Addison welcomes with open arms. As the werewolves are in Zombietown, Zed tries to rally the wolves to help him win the election, but they do not see the point of changing who they are to fit in. At cheer practice, the werewolves join in; as Zed and Eliza walk in, they suspect that Wyatt, one of the werewolves, has a thing for Addison, which makes Zed jealous. Addison follows Zed out into the hall, and they get into a little argument.

The werewolves eventually bring Addison to their den, where they tell her the prophecy, and Addison is excited to be a part of something spectacular. The werewolves give her a full charged moonstone necklace, which they have saved for the Great Alpha. If she puts it on and is truly a werewolf, she will transform into one; shortly thereafter, Zed, Bree, Eliza, and Bonzo find Addison in the wolf den after tracking her, thinking she was in trouble. Zed attempts to save Addison from the werewolves, but Addison tells him she wants to be there and that she has finally found her pack. Zed gets defensive and says that she does not want to be a monster and tells her not to put on the necklace. The werewolves agree to give her one day to decide. They feel an explosion, and it is said that they are destroying the power plant which created the zombies. Addison notes that the building is fueled by a mysterious energy source. If the power plant gets destroyed, it will crush and destroy the moonstone along with it. The next day, Addison shows Zed the necklace and tells him that she is going to put it on, and Zed tells her not to and discretely takes it when she is not looking. When Addison finds the werewolves, she realizes it is missing. Zed goes to his presidential debate against Bucky. He wins over the humans, but when the Z-band shorts out due to Addison's moonstone. Zed becomes a full zombie and everyone runs away screaming, which causes Zed to lose the election.

Meanwhile, the werewolves head to Seabrook Power, where the alarm immediately goes off and the Zombie Patrol shows up. Addison and Bree also hear the alarm from school and realize that they need to help the werewolves. The werewolves get arrested at the demolition site when they release silver gas, their one weakness. Addison arrives with the cheerleaders and zombies, who get the adults to agree not to destroy the building. They all go outside to celebrate, when Zed reveals to Addison that he took the necklace from her. She gets mad at him and puts on the necklace, but finds out that she’s not a werewolf. One of the men in control of the device controlling the demolition shorts out and causes the whole building to be destroyed. The werewolves get very sick and retreat back to their den. Zed heads to the den to find them sick and dying, when he tells them that he is proud that they do not change who they are and they embrace that they are monsters.

Prawn night arrives and Zed as well as the rest of the zombies and werewolves show up to crash the prawn. Everyone dances and Zed and Addison make up; however, the ground starts shaking and splits in half with a blue glow from the hole. The werewolves realize that the moonstone is not destroyed and go in the hole to find it; the humans and zombies follow to help. They find the moonstone. They try to get the moonstone out when a huge boulder blocks their exit. Zed removes his Z-band and uses his zombie strength to lift the boulder and allows the others to bring the moonstone out safely. They all go back to prawn and sing and dance and have fun, with Zed and Addison having their first kiss.
Later, a blue glowing rock falls from the sky at night, causing a blue explosion. This causes Addison’s radio to briefly short out; later, after waking up, her hair glows bright blue for a short moment.

Premieres Friday 4, May at 15:40 CAT/14:40 WAT/16:40 EAT with repeats scheduled on 8th and 11th May at 17:25 CAT and 9th of May at 10:40 CAT

Admist The Coronavirus Outbreak, Mindset Pop-Up Channel Mindset Pop

Ever since the launch of Mindset second TV channel, the channel hasn't stopped trending across social media. This is first time in a long while that a channel trends at such an alarming pace.

With this in mind it's possible that MultiChoice and Mindset will make it permanent considering the huge impact it made to the community compared to the WWE channel.
Mindset Pop (Pop Primary) puts its focus on Grade R to 9 while Mindset also caters for that market but overtime their main focus was on Grade 10-12 with a little bit of Grade R-3, 8 and 9 something which was unnoticeable for a while now on the channel which in turn makes this one useful.

At launch the channel was said to broadcast 15 hours a day and now broadcasts an extra hour. The channel was at first launched with a large lineup of material that was still accessible on Mindset overtime that changed.
The one thing that remained was the constant inaccuracies from Mindset TV like just the other day Grade 8 Natural Science was scheduled to air at 21:00 instead it was Mathematics I don't see that ever getting fixed.

The other thing has to be the branding for this channel even though it is labelled as Mindset Pop through its ads they label it as Pop Primary with the actual channel logo is labelled as Mindset without the Pop. Yes, the name Pop is short for pop-up channel. If you visit this channel it also recycles bumpers and indents from the regular Mindset channel so there's no telling if they ever plan to update this in order to try and seperate the two.

Regardless the channel is doing well you may see some negative reviews but only due to the schedule and lack of subjects either way the channel is running smoothly. If MultiChoice and Mindset decide to keep it open there's a high chance it won't be available 24/7 like your regular Mindset channel due to the strong resemblance between these channels.

Could Timeless Drama Channel Be The Reason FOX Life Africa Scrapped Turkish Telenovelas For Mexican Telenovelas

Just as you thought the Disney owned channel FOX Life couldn't shock you any further they just did. By introducing four new telenovelas to customers across Africa.

The bad part about this is most of Africa excluding Southern Africa have seen all these telenovelas through their local stations or through StarTimes/StarTimes even the Turkish soap operas that came on this channel at launch were also repeats from various other African markets.

When news spread over these new telenovelas, FOX Life recieved mixed reactions from viewers demanding answers on the fate of Turkish telenovelas they left on a cliffhanger since during the redundant channel 3 years they've only been repeating past seasons of these shows without airing new seasons.

It's possible that Turkish programming has been scrapped entirely for this station so the likelihood is that it has something to do with the long-awaited channel Timeless Drama Channel (TDC).

The Turkish channel announced back in 2018 which is set to launch in South Africa as mentioned in SPI International website even though no official launch date has been revealed it's possible that the channel will debut within 2 years in this market.

While viewers had to wait for the channel FOX Life offered this lineup for a short while and constantly repeated the programs with no additional programs. Back in October 2019, they scrapped these telenovelas from their lineup only to revive the lineup with the same hot mess later in March of 2020.

Now they scrap it and silently added for Mexican telenovelas from a Disney inspired company Televisa. For a channel like FOX Life the name doesn't suit the channel you're better off changing it into FOX Drama(tic).
Timeless Drama Channel is set to launch in South Africa with a ranch of telenovelas and movies both of which will be viewable in HD. If you're living in South Africa you can find Turkish programming dubbed in Afrikaans through e.tv and eExtra.

Welcome To New Delhi High Society And It's Leading Ladies Coming Soon To Zee World

It’s not easy being rich, and if that sounds elitist, that’s because the upper echelons of New Delhi society aim to be exactly that.

Ten wealthy ladies who don’t shy away from the public eye will let the cameras into their mansions, chateaus and villas and prove that there’s so much more to their lives than just Balenciaga, Versace and Dior – even though designer handbags are a girl’s best friend, after diamonds, of course.

If you love The Real Housewives franchise (and we know you do), then these Delhi Darlings will deliver just the right amount of spice, shade and scandal all the way from the shores of India. These are your darlings, darling.

Who are the ladies
White and gold are Puja Dua’s signature colours, so much so that her entire house is adorned and decorated in those hues.
You will never, ever catch Shalu Jindal re-wearing clothes. She will never be caught dead in an outfit that she’s been seen in before.

Guneet Virdi is an award-winning make-up artist who is as particular about the people she sips sangrias with as she is about which A-lister wedding deserves to be graced by her presence.

Your social event is a failure if the invite list does not include Deepshikha Lungani, who once won the Glamour Mrs India contest. No self-respecting events planner would dare not include this runway queen.

Sona Sharma is a businesswoman and proud owner of a beauty salon. This glamorous grandmother (glammy) is a cancer survivor and because of that, she lives life to the fullest and is unapologetically herself.

Reena Mittal owns an automobile company and loves hosting car showroom events. She’s a fitness bunny and believes in helping others make good sartorial choices.

Seema Gumber owns an events company that caters to India’s high-profile functions and considers herself to be an alpha female.
Rashmi Sachdeva is a former beauty queen who mentors and judges pageant shows.
A fashion designer by profession, Pragati Nagpal loves Indian ethnic wear and her brand creates such apparel.

Shaloo Jindal loves all things stone – with carats obviously! Her favourite sound is listening to her Louboutin heels clicking on the jaw-dropping glass staircase she installed in her mansion.

Delhi Darlings starts on Saturday 18 April on Zee World (166) at 17:00
