MultiChoice on the new channel Kwenda Magic
DStv customers in Angola will soon enjoy a new local channel uniquely created for them with the launch of Kwenda Magic. The newest addition to MultiChoice's premium content offer will be released January 17, 2022 at 16 pm in Angola on DStv Channel 502.
Kwenda Magic will be available to subscribers of the DStv Familia, DStv Grande, DStv Grande Plus, DStv Bué and DStv Mega packages.
The programs include the premiere of ′′ O Rio ", a national adaptation of the popular South African telenovela ′′ The River ′′ from DStv's channel 1 Magic. The channel will also feature dubbed international content, such as Turkish hits ′′ The Girl Called Feriah ′′ and ′′ Woman ", not to mention MNet's recent criminal thriller series ′′ Reyka ".
′′ Rio ′′ is the first Angolan telenovela produced for a MNet channel and a strong fiction production fully crafted by Angolans for the Angolan public. This soap opera is adapted from a true story, taken place somewhere by this African continent, and which comes to life by the rich interpretations of a prestigious cast with Lesliana Pereira and Silvio Nascimento in the lead roles.
Over the course of the 260 episodes, let's meet and live intensely with:
Monifa Tchiyo (Lesliana Pereira), the beautiful and powerful businesswoman who commands, with iron fist, without mercy, a diamond exploration operation.
Henda Tchyo (Silvio Nascimento) is the faithful and feared ′′ captain ′′ of Monifa. Your husband's nephew, Henda is a tough and rough young man, who acts as a dick for all the villain's work. Monifa's right arm and the figure that best interprets and executes his ruthless orders.
′′ Rio ′′ still stars public figures like the beautiful and eccentric Juddy of Conceição and Neide Van-dúnem, and reaffirms the talent of very enshrined names like Dicla Burity, Kim Fasano, Carlos de Carvalho, Raúl do Rosario and Leonora Carvalho.
Joao Ribeiro on the new channel Maningue Magic
I'm very happy to be part of what I think will be another landmark moment in Mozambique's history.
I have the pleasure and opportunity to manage Multichoice's new channel MANINGUE MAGIC (channel that will soon be on exclusive display on GOtv and DStv platforms in Mozambique). It will be an entertainment channel, it will display locally produced content, which will join some high quality international and Africans.
For a long time, in so much as Filmmaker (director and producer), I waited for an opportunity where local channels would open the door to independent production and hire content production to enrich their program grid. Unfortunately, the moments when this happened in the already long history of National TV, since the channel strategy goes through producing ′′ at home ′′ all its content. This ′′ new ′′ model that relies solely on the acquisition of local content, thus opens a window to national audiovisual, promote local artists and producers, invest in local industry in pursuit of the goal that Multichoice has to be the best storyteller in Africa.
This first cycle of programs began to be prepared a few months ago and now it reaches its stage of display.
National producers accepted this huge challenge and entered this new complex value chain where delivery demands are completely different from what our national status quo is, where delivery times, quality of production and information between parties is very demanding, turning into a school that will definitely influence the market as a whole.
Currently there are 6 producers working for Channel and close to 100 professionals from different specialties involved in production. We all want to demonstrate to the public that we can have national fiction production on our channels regularly and with quality, we want to show that our audience deserves entertainment of the highest quality. We want to invest local and then get return that is based on winning ratings for the quality of the offer.
Let us hope that the public will welcome us with open arms and allow this project dedicated to Mozambique to continue its development and that we can bring more local content and involve more producers in the short term.
This is how we proudly air the FIRST Mozambican soap opera we gave the title MAIDA (adapted from a successful format already produced and aired in Africa) that will have 130 episodes in the first season. Produced by Panavideo, it involves a huge team of national professionals in all areas of production. This story takes place between the countryside and the city, crosses horizons and works the classic gender themes. The love, the betrayal, the power, the difference in classes.
INFLUENCER is an original fiction series with 26 episodes on Season 1 in a production of CINEVIDEO that will explore the themes of youth, drugs, and prostitution. A young girl who dreams of being a digital influencer ends up getting into the knitwear of a criminal organization and sees her plans exchanged.
DATE MY FAMILY Mozambique, a relationship show with a ′′ twist ". This show with 26 episodes this season 1, is being prodded by MAHLA FILMS and accompanies young singles looking to get into new relationships.
BOSS STATION, a daily music program where the video clips of the moment will be presented and Big Baron Boss (Emerson Miranda) will talk to some of the most important national musicians and show us behind the scenes of music production in a MATCH POINT production.
TXUNED, a show about fashion, design, cuisine and lifestyle. Nayomi Chambal drives this weekly magazine produced by SOARTES.
TOP MORE will bring news from Mozambican and African socialites and what we are told about social media. Follow these famous on a weekly show hosted by Shelly Janfar in a production of IDEAS COMMUNICATION.
Thanks to Multichoice, the Maningue Magic team, all Marketing teams, Corporate Affairs, Systems Operations, the different Managers and the colleagues who will serve the Customer from now on. Thank you to the local producers who joined us in this first phase (Panavideo, Cinevideo, Mahla Movies, SóArtes, Match Point and Ideas). Without all of you, this would not be possible.
