Company Overview

MultiChoice Group is a leading entertainment company based in South Africa, primarily engaged in the provision of pay-television and video streaming services. Established in 1993 as a subsidiary of media group Naspers, the company has grown to become one of the largest satellite TV operators in sub-Saharan Africa. MultiChoice’s flagship pay-TV brand, DStv, offers a range of subscription packages that cater to diverse audience segments, providing access to international and local television channels, movies, sports, and news.

In addition to its satellite platform, MultiChoice operates Showmax, an over-the-top streaming service launched in 2015 that delivers on-demand content over the internet. Showmax features a mix of original productions, licensed series, and films, targeting a younger, digitally savvy market.

Since its listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1993, MultiChoice has navigated industry shifts from analogue broadcasting to digital and streaming formats. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Calvo Mawela, appointed in 2015, the group has pursued a strategy of investing in local content production, sports broadcasting rights, and technology upgrades. Mawela’s tenure has focused on expanding the company’s footprint in high-growth markets while streamlining operations to address changing consumer preferences.

MultiChoice serves more than 20 million subscribers across over 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with key markets including South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Angola. The company maintains regional offices and localised content teams to cater to linguistic and cultural diversity. Looking ahead, MultiChoice aims to deepen its digital offerings, explore new revenue streams such as mobile streaming partnerships, and continue fostering pan-African content creation through its Emerging Talent and local studios initiatives.
