July’s clash of kings on DStv Premium

DStv Premium is filled with apex predators clashing, tooth and claw, this July

Survivor South Africa Season 9: Return Of The Outcasts throws together 20 past Survivors with something to prove, then cranks up the action to four hours a week. There’s blood in the water and it has attracted Shark Week 2022 on Discovery (DStv Channel 121), starting Sunday, 10 July at 22:35.

Did we say Sharks and you thought, “Rugby!”? The Boks are kicking off their 2022 season this month as they take on the Welsh Dragons on SA soil, live on SuperSport Rugby (DStv Channel 211). Then kiss your sleepy Sundays goodbye because M-Net (DStv Channel 101) will be ending the week with a pants-scorchingly hot, superstar action movie every Sunday at 20:00, starting with the latest James Bond.

And because you get ALL of DStv with DStv Premium, check out our other monthly highlights packages for news about July’s hit series like The Real Housewives Of Cape Town Season 1, Idols SA Season 18, Call The Midwife Season 11, The Great Kenyan Bake-Off Season 2, eHostela Season 3, Murder Inc Season 1, Pastors' Wives Season 3, Snakes In The City Season 8, and Body Parts Season 1.
