Now more than ever, Africans are shaping and owning their own narrative through stories and music and this Africa Month, DStv and GOtv are proud to serve as vehicles that share these stories far and wide.

“Although the current climate demands everyone to physically isolate it has, in so many ways, called people to come together and unite in celebrating what matters the most: resilience, sense of community, creativity and so much more. Attributes that perfectly illustrate the very essence of who we are as Africans” says MultiChoice Ghana Managing Director, Cecil Sunkwa Mills, “It is in light of this, that we celebrate the distinctively African talent and entertainment offered on our channels which reflect the stories and lives of our treasured viewers across the continent”
