At the time MultiChoice said there's no plans to launch EbonyLife TV in South Africa, although insiders said EbonyLifeTV would launch by the end of 2013 in South Africa, but it took a year longer.
"We're extremely excited about EbonyLife TV's extension into the Southern African and South African markets, barely a year after our launch," says Mo Abudu, the executive chairperson and CEO of EbonyLife TV in a statement.
"This expansion is due to our success in the rest of Africa. We're proud of the fact that we are 100% homegrown," says Mo Abudu.
