Carnby's investigation quickly leads him to Frederick Johnson, who informs him of Fiske's search for three ancient tablets with the ability to unlock an incredible and dangerous power.

Last year, we rolled out a gaming brand Insidus Games and we recieved plenty of fans from regions such as the Netherlands, Germany, United States and you too South Africa and after giving it some thought we phased out blogging component of the site. Take to note, we're not shutting down Insidus Games quite the contrary we're leaving it open for those who wish to continue using the site but for further content there's here and what others see as MediaFire is currently being used to construct a new project, Insidus Collection. I can't give much details as to when it will be ready we're hoping before December 2023 or early 2024. What we can add is that Insidus Games alongside a yet-to-be-launched brand will fall under this brand, Insidus Collection. With the changing world integrating we thought of doing some changes ourselves alongside Insidus Collection we're looking to explore our presence through other platforms and do other things as time progresses.

African pay TV giant MultiChoice Group and Comcast’s NBCUniversal and Sky on Thursday unveiled a partnership that “will bring some of the world’s best content and technology to streaming customers across MultiChoice’s 50-market footprint in sub-Saharan Africa at a time when Africa is approaching an inflection point in terms of broadband connectivity and affordability.” They will form the new Showmax group, which will be 70 percent owned by MultiChoice and 30 percent owned by NBCUniversal. “It will build on Showmax’s success to date and aim to create the leading streaming service in Africa,” the companies said. “Powered by Peacock’s leading, globally-scaled technology, Showmax subscribers will have access to an extensive premium content portfolio, bringing African audiences the best of local and international programming.” Further details about the new Showmax service, including launch date, content and pricing will be announced at a later date. The streaming service will combine Mul

Immediate focus for both streaming and broadcast will be on The KES Water Polo Festival, the Graeme College 150th festival, Spar hockey from KZN, the St Mary’s hockey festival, the St Andrew’s netball festival, Premier Interschools netball and rugby, the Border Rugby Day, KZN schools football and the Gauteng Development League (GDL). The GDL is especially appealing and will include age group football matches across 34 weekends from March to November. Comprising 18 clubs and schools, including teams like Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United, plus schools like Rosina Sedibane from Centurion, they will compete in nine head-to-head fixtures across a number of age groups per week.

It touches on a variety of school sport subjects and leans towards being entertaining and informative. Given the wealth of e

Last month it was reported by Warner Bros. Discovery that the children's channel Boomerang would not only be exiting the DStv platform but the whole of Africa for a new channel known as Cartoonito catering to preschoolers and their families. Now consumers will be bidding farewell to yet another channel, CCTV-4. It's a free-to-air TV channel from China Central Television, which broadcasts documentaries, music, news, dramas, sports, and children’s shows from the Greater China area. It is currently available on all DStv packages —from the broadcaster’s cheapest EasyView plan to the top-end Premium bouquet. According to MultiChoice, the decision for removing the channel had to do with low viewership and the reviewing of channels. There hasn't been any mentions of a replacement but fans of Asian programming can tune into NHK World Japan, KIX and CGTN. Ahead of CCTV-4 termination on the DStv platform at the end of March, the pay-tv operator recently launched SuperSport S
