The launch gathered the country’s leading film and TV creatives, celebrating 22 years of OneAfrica TV’s commitment to homegrown content. Station Manager and Future Media Marketing Manager Zellmari Brandt outlined the channel’s achievements over the past eight months, including the release of 34 new pieces of content, such as the sports talk show Final Whistle, the South African soapie Suidooster, and Omukuluntu’s News, a satirical Oshiwambo news show. The channel also broadcast national events, including the historic cricket win over South Africa on 11 October 2025.
OneAfrica has also strengthened its focus on educational content through the LearnOnOne platform, launching shows like God of Women and Behind the School Doors.
