GOVERNMENT has commended MultiChoice Zambia for playing a leading role in ensuring a well-informed nation through its investments in the creative and media industry.
Minister of Information and Media Hon Chushi Kasanda said the government was happy to see that MultiChoice has proactively taken up their place by introducing initiatives on their platforms that help to inform, educate and entertain people.
Hon Kasanda said this when she officiated at the launch of the GOtv SUPA Package in Lusaka today.
“The Ministry of Information and Media works with industry partners like MultiChoice to build the creative industry in Zambia, and the launch of GOtv SUPA today is testament to this flourishing partnership,” Hon Kasanda said.
The new GOtv SUPA Package will offer customers more channels which include the best local and international channels with great content for the whole family.
Some of the channels included in the new GOtv SUPA package are: Honey, Africa Magic Urban, Pearl Magic Prime, National Geographic, WWE, TL Novelas, Novela Magic, Rok, Kix Channel and Boomerang to mention a few.
Speaking at the same function, GOtv Board Chair Nalumino Chiapeni in a speech read on his behalf by GOtv Board Member, Simon Bota said that the launch of GOtv SUPA is an initiative by MultiChoice aimed at adding more value to MultiChoice customers.
“We will do this by providing them with more choice thereby making entertainment more accessible to Zambians,” Mr Chiapeni said. “GOtv Supa is an expansion to our world of entertainment and will certainly provide GOtv subscribers with more local content that suits their budget and entertainment needs.”
And MultiChoice Zambia Managing Director Leah Kooma said the brand new GOtv Supa package will offer a range of lifestyle and entertainment channels, featuring more entertainment for the kids, more drama-filled telenovelas, and more proudly local content.
“With the festive season fast approaching, families need affordable ways to spend time together, we hope the launch of this entertainment-focused package will do exactly that, and bring families together during this special time of the year,” said Mrs Kooma said.
The launch was also attended by various film makers from the local film industry who expressed their appreciation to MultiChoice for empowering them by investing in the local film industry.
It seems this woman needs a lot of guidance. She has gone into the Ministry without a program so let’s give her one. We want to know the details of the ZNBC – TopStar deal. Why has the hologram project failed when so much money was spent on it? Who collects TV levy? Is it TopStar or ZNBC? Is she aware that many parts of Zambia don’t receive the ZNBC signal and rely on foreign media for news and entertainment?
WHATS SHE ON ABOUT MULTICHOICE IS A DAMN DISGRACE FOR THE MONEY WE PAY
REPEATS ALL THE TIME
Minister of information praising a rival competitor against. Why would a whole minister praise a foreign media company when we ve Dead ZNBC. Was she in sink with the new dawn guidelines? Should she be talking of funding Zambians to explore startups that ll offer the same services as multi choice but this time around – Zambian bred and owned. What’s is her agenda really? She looks and sounds to be a lost cause really ,cos every other minister is working and making Zambian inclined changes in their ministries. But uyu yeve – kaya mwe!
This is one ministry that we are going slag behind but I don’t know let’s wait and see. Too beautiful women are a danger to high responsibility as they don’t work and jst enjoy being on camera for all to admire her. If not so, how was she recently handed a script that she mumbled on on her press conference? It means she didn’t write it and if u didn’t write an important script, you go through it might before and make adjustments- well clearly she didn’t do this – hence her self embarrassment. If she carries on like this – she won’t last in that position – HH fires clueless people. He doesn’t think twice on that, child or adult, woman or man -jst be clueless , he ll defined fire u. There & then.
Looks good until she opens her mouth. Is this the best hh can do or is there more to this story. You can only make such an appointment if it is a personal kickback. Dora siliya can you please start giving this woman tutorials.
Multichoice is a conduit for cultural imperialism. It brings into our living rooms western habits that colonise our minds. The other day I saw Dora Siliya tweeting about Manchester united losing in the first person. Ati “we lost” We lost when you don’t say so when chipolopolo loses. Ba brainwashed ex minister!
We voted him out – Anayenda. – ZNBC and GRZ have a shareholding in Muitichoice Zambia ltd
