everyday reality for homes in Africa and demonstrates MultiChoice Africa’s commitment to creating a vibrant and exciting pay television industry in Africa.
MultiChoice Mozambique General Manager Ms Samira Chicalia commented: “We are responding to the needs of a broader television viewing market. The DStv pay television service is one of the most cost effective options for family entertainment. Since many people in Mozambique, as with the rest of the world, are looking at their budgets more tightly, we believe that this new bouquet will open up new avenues for both our business and television viewers.
Our commitment remains focused on providing exceptional customer services to DStv subscribers to ensure that they have access to the finest quality premium content; local and international channels on carefully selected bouquets, designed to meet the viewing needs of the whole family, while ensuring flexible pricing options.”

Providing our subscribers with a breadth of choices is key to our bouquet and channel offerings, and we strive to bring variety rather than just focusing on specific genres such as sport. Our success has been built on listening to what our subscribers want, delivering world-class television channels, developing local content and supporting DStv with excellent customer service. DStv Access is proof of that.”
