Newsroom Afrika is a South African 24-hour digital satellite television news channel broadcast across Africa on DStv.[1][2][3] It is one of two channels on the platform that is 100℅ black-owned, and 50℅ female-owned.[4] The channel comes after MultiChoice ended their contract with the now defunct and controversial Afro Worldview.[5]
History
In August 2018, MultiChoice terminated their contract with Mzwanele Manyi's controversial Afro Worldview. MultiChoice announced that it would be looking for new bidders. Out of a total of 111 competitors, Newzroom Afrika was selected. According to M-Net CEO Yolisa Phahle, Newzroom Afrika had "met all the qualifying criteria. Newzroom Afrika is owned by media expert, Thokozani Nkosi (50%), and former news anchor, Thabile Ngwato (50%).[6] The channel took to the airwaves on the 2nd of May, ahead of the 2019 National and Provincial Elections, and boasts of familiar radio and TV personalities.[7]The channel competes with the public broadcaster's SABC News and eMedia Investments' news station eNCA.
