M-Net launches Africa multi-lingual kids channel

Koowee was launched a year ago in Afrikaans and now for the first time the channel is available with an isiZulu simulcast option. There are 15 new programmes created locally to suit the local market. The programmes are grounded in South Africa and reflect the country's various cultures.

Helga Palmer, content executive, Koowee says, "It is such an honour to be part of this innovative project. It is especially rewarding that we make the Koowee content accessible to the isiZulu speaking child, as well as creating a platform for any child to learn a new language. And with the prospect of including more languages to the channel in the future, making it accessible to an even broader audience is truly remarkable."

Koowee broadcasts on channel 307 on DSTV from 6am to 9pm.
