One Africa TV celebrates concluding agreements with independent content producers for 7 local shows airing this May on One Africa TV .
“Since my start at One Africa TV it has been and will always be my mission to bring
more local content to Namibian viewers. Since 2016 we’ve increased our Namibian
locally produced shows from 2% to 40%. One Africa TV recently partnered with 7 external, independent local producers and is broadcasting 7 new locally produced Namibian shows to be broadcasted in this month of May,” said Taleni Shimhopileni, Content Executive and Director of One Africa TV.

broadcast titles.

creators and so it is exciting to say that there is more and will be more local content
