BREAKING. Special Nelson Mandela coverage and schedule changes on Mzansi Magic, Channel O, kykNET, M-Net and M-Net Movies Premiere.

I'm getting word of special programming across several channels being planned and which will be rolled out over the next few days, especially on various MultiChoice channels on DStv provided by M-Net - with Mzansi Magic's schedule which is changing, as well as M-Net, Channel O, kykNET and the M-Net Movies Premiere channel.

Besides MultiChoice's Nelson Mandela event channel running on channel 199 on DStv as a tribute channel, M-Net will have a live Carte Blanche Nelson Mandela tribute special tonight at 19:30 on M-Net (DStv 101) with previous interviews and profile stories the show did in the past.

The Sunday night movie on M-Net at 20:05 will be changing, and Sunday's Carte Blanche on M-net at 19:00 is also reworking the line-up with Nelson Mandela coverage.

I'm told the film on M-Net Movies Premiere on Sunday night will also be changing.

I'm told that kykNET (DStv 144) has several programmes coming up from the weekend and next week as tributes and special coverage of Nelson Mandela, such as a special episode of Robinson Regstreeks, as well as other shows.

The Mzansi Magic schedule is also changing for special programmes such as 10 on 10 and others.

Channel O is also changing. On Friday viewers can tune to Channel O for:
08:30 O-Xpress: A celebration through music of the life of Nelson Mandela

10:30 In His Own Words: A Tribute to Nelson Mandela: A celebration of the life of Nelson Mandela through his own words and wisdom.

11:00 O-Xpress: A celebration through music of the life of Nelson Mandela.
