Why Novela Magic Is Being Snatched From DStv Customers In South Africa?
Novela Magic was Africa's first attempt at a storytelling channel geared for viewers in Africa and I know the channel won't be killed off entirely but it is going off air in South Africa so I have every right to refer it to it in the past tense. As it is the channel has a few days left and there's been nothing but absolute silence probably because MultiChoice didn't bother put up a termination notice so viewers will be stunned when they find channel 165 is blocked thinking account payment or technical issues when in fact it was snatched. An early overview of the channel revealed it would source their content from Mzansi Magic, kykNET, Africa Magic and further local channels from M-Net. From what was understood about the channel it took its content mainly from the latter three. While as brands like Maisha Magic, Pearl Magic, Abol TV and Zambezi Magic are still trying to build their offering for Novela Magic so it could explain why it is being snatched from DStv custo
