Pay television service provider, MultiChoice Malawi, says it plans to make a huge investment in Malawian production as a way of maintaining its long-standing connection with the community, and continuing to grow Malawian production in telling African stories.
MultiChoice Malawi Chief Executive Officer, Mvuzo Dzingwa, disclosed the development during a special celebration event marking 30 years of existence, held at Amaryllis Hotel.
At the event, the company also unveiled new DStv and GOtv packages for its subscribers, which he said is part of its main focus of giving customers better value and access to the entertainment they love.
Dzingwa emphasised that reaching 30 years of sustained successful business in Malawi is a great achievement to be proud of, and a big milestone that has pushed the company to think of giving back to the community in appreciation of their loyal support.
He said the company has, therefore, decided to continue connecting with the community by investing more, and ensuring the new chapter takes them to the next 30 years of growing local production.
“MultiChoice remains firmly committed to investing in local content and telling authentic African stories,” said Dzingwa. “The business continues to expand its portfolio of original productions across markets, ensuring audiences can enjoy a rich mix of locally relevant entertainment along with the very best international content.
“At MultiChoice, we have built an extraordinary connection with African audiences and a deep understanding of the stories they love to watch, so our plan is to invest in Malawi as well as Africa by increasing production and global distribution opportunities.”
To ensure customers remain entertained and are able to access channels in an affordable manner, the company also unveiled the new DStv and GOtv packages.
According to Dzingwa, the Starter package, which comprises 57 channels, is now going at K15,000, while the Family Select package of 115 channels is at K25,000.
The Sports package is currently at K60,000, whereas the Ultimate package is costing K106,000.
