On the evening of Day 2 of Discovery Inc.'s 3-day press tour for the media launch of its HGTV (DStv 177) channel in South Africa, the press went on a guided tour of the Zeitz Museum in Cape Town, followed by a beautiful gala dinner on the 6th floor rooftop.
HGTV has been added on MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV service in South Africa for DStv Premium, DStv Compact Plus and DStv Compact subscribers.
On Day 2's evening the invited media were requested to dress formally and taken by shuttles from the Table Bay Hotel to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa for a guided tour.
The Zeitz MOCAA is the largest museum of contemporary African art in the world and houses an impressive collection of work from all over the African continent and beyond.
Housed in an important historical landmark, the old grain silo at the V&A Waterfront, the museum has an interior as outstanding as the exterior and the art inside.
The HGTV gala dinner took place on the 6th floor rooftop, with spectacular views across Cape Town's central business district.
Before dinner and after everyone was seated, Discovery Inc. played the beautiful, rush-edit video with music below, of all of the activities of Day 2's HGTV media launch:
