DStv Access customers will now have access to Novela Magic

As part of M-Net and MultiChoice’s ongoing commitment to broaden the accessibility and entertainment value of its content offerings, Novela Magic (DStv 165) will be made available to DStv Access customers from Friday, 22 January 2021, at 18:00. This means that together with DStv Premium, Compact Plus, Compact and Family customers, DStv Access viewers can now experience the best of Africa.

Launched in November 2020, Novela Magic celebrates Africa’s love for storytelling as well as local creative talent by showcasing a variety of unique local stories with themes that resonate and engage with the viewers. The channel is MultiChoice and M-Net’s first-ever African-only telenovela channel.

Along with the expansion to DStv Access customers, the exciting telenovela channel continues its mission of delivering the best African stories with the launch of Enakhe and Riona on Friday, 22 January.

In Enakhe, the rebellious princess of a criminal empire, Enakhe, is forced to grow up and take the lead after her father's sudden death.

Meanwhile, Riona tells the story of a village under siege and an uprising. Two children born under the dark moon cross a complicated path on their way to fulfil a prophesy set to bring down a wicked king.

Novela Magic is currently only available in the Southern African region. However, plans are under way to roll out the channel to other regions of the African continent. Dates will be communicated.
