It’s going to be a magical start to the new
year when DStv Premium customers, say hello to 1Magic on January 29, 2018, DStv
Channel 103! The channel will become the entertainment destination of choice
for audiences who enjoy gripping local dramas, telenovelas, reality shows,
movies and are also looking for the best in international reality, drama and
movies.
Leading the charge will be the channel’s
flagship new telenovela, The River,
which boasts the crème de la crème of South African acting talent. Starting on January
29, it is spearheaded by a formidable cast made up of seasoned actors, Sindi
Dlathu, Hlomhla Dandala, Moshidi Motshegwa, and newcomer, Larona Moagi. The River is about the deadly result
that comes about when the greedy world of society’s upper crust collides with
that of ordinary common folk. Driven by the themes of love across social
classes, greed and a community fighting to survive, it’s a show that can’t be missed.
VUZU AMP audiences should not panic because
1Magic will still be serving a mix of compelling, relevant and entertaining
international programmes like The Fixer,
How To Get Away with Murder, The Real Housewives, Power and later on in the
year, latest seasons of Ballers, Queen
Sugar and Insecure.
On February 2, viewers should look out for
a new chic urban drama Unmarried,
which unpacks themes of love, urban hustle and bustle, and the daily challenges
faced by young urban couples in trying to juggle life and aspirations. The
drama boosts a stellar cast of South African household names such as Fezile
Makhanya, Thembisa Mdoda, Renate Stuurman amongst others.
“In line with our vision to be the best
African storytellers in the world, M-Net has identified a need to invest in
more local entertainment for our viewers, in the premium segment. 1Magic will
fill a viewing gap by combining new and exclusive local shows with
international content,” says Nkateko Mabaso, GM M-Net South Africa.
