Business
MultiChoice Group Limited operates as Africa's leading video entertainment platform, delivering pay-TV, streaming, and digital content services to over 23 million households across sub-Saharan Africa in 50 markets. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Randburg, South Africa, the company offers core products including DStv satellite television with multiple entertainment packages; GOtv digital terrestrial TV in eight countries; Showmax internet-based video-on-demand featuring international and local shows, movies, and a standalone Premier League streaming plan; M-Net premium channels providing local and global content; SuperSport sports broadcasting covering football, rugby, cricket, tennis, motorsport, and more; Irdeto cybersecurity solutions for content protection in media, gaming, and connected sectors; DStv Media Sales handling airtime, sponsorships, and digital advertising; and BetKing sports betting and virtual gaming in Nigeria. It serves pay-TV subscribers, streaming users, and businesses through subsidiaries like MultiChoice South Africa, MultiChoice Africa Holdings, Showmax Africa, and Irdeto, while targeting households, sports fans, and content providers. In 2025, Canal+ completed its acquisition of the remaining 68% stake for approximately ZAR 36 billion at ZAR 125 per share, achieving full ownership and effective control following South African regulatory approvals with conditions on employment, black economic empowerment, and local content; this triggered board changes including Calvo Mawela as Canal+ Africa Chairman and David Mignot as CEO, alongside integration plans to combine content libraries for 10,000 hours annually in up to 35 languages and assess streaming platforms. Shares were suspended from JSE and A2X trading in October 2025 as MultiChoice operates as a Canal+ subsidiary.
