Richard Alden has been appointed as the new group CEO of Wananchi, the operator of the ZUKU pay-TV platform in East Africa.
Zuku's TV channels are now also available outside of East Africa for the first time in a deal with the Seychelles-based pay-TV operator Intelvision.
Zuku's Zuku Life, all four Zuku Movies channels and Zuku Swahili Movies are now available outside of East Africa for the first time since the beginning of November.
"We're very pleased that out channels will be travelling outside of the borders of East Africa for the first time and we hope that viewers in the Seychelles will be entertained by the programming we are offering," says Hannelie Bekker, the managing director of Wananchi programming.
Meanwhile Richard Alden has moved up to group CEO position; he has been the group's chief operating officer (COO) and has taken over from Richard Bell.
