TOLDJA! CNBC Africa explores the African oil industry in a fascinating new local oil documentary.

In July I broke the news RIGHT HERE that Chris Bishop is working on a revealing oil doccie for CNBC Africa (DStv 410) and now the local business channel just confirmed the news.

CNBC Africa's latest locally-produced documentary will be Africa: Crude Continent - Quest for the Oil Prize and will debut on CNBC Africa on Tuesday, September 28 at 18:00. Expert and leading author dr Duncan Clarke (pictured) shares his insight about the African oil game over the past three decades.

Africa: Crude Continent - Quest for the Oil Prize is (exactly as I've revealed) produced by Chris Bishop and reveals a fascinating tale by taking viewers into the heart of Africa's fast growing oil industry. The documentary reveals the inside drama of African oil, where it is found, its impact and significance, and examines the critical issues around its exploitation, and also talks to oil industry experts.

''The documentary challenges old ways of thinking about oil on the continent, looks at the present objectively and casts an eye on the future and how the players on the continent are likely to respond to its resource potential,'' says Jill de Villiers, CNBC Africa features and weekend editor.

Africa: Crude Continent - Quest for the Oil Prize will be repeated on CNBC Africa on Friday, October 1 at 21:00, Saturday, October 2 at 17:30 and Sunday, October 3 at 14:00.
