This collaboration will extend our offering in Botswana where we have recently introduced our satellite TV service a few weeks ago. As a multi-platform media business, we are proud to offer our quality content to Orange subscribers on the move.
Kwesé TV is now available in 29 countries. However, the service has been stopped in Zimbabwe after the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (Baz) cancelled the broadcasting licence of Kwesé TV’s content distributor, Dr Dish. Baz and Dr Dish are currently involved in multiple court litigation cases. After High Court judge, Justice Charles Hungwe granted Dr Dish’s urgent application and allowed it to continue operating, the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe filed an appeal at the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe.
The appeal had the effect of suspending the Justice Charles Hungwe’s decision to allow Kwese and Dr Dish to continue operating. Kwesé TV then filed another urgent chamber application at the High Court seeking permission to continue operating until the Supreme Court appeal is resolved.
Both cases are still pending. However, at the moment Kwese TV is off air and has stopped broadcasting until the courts provide direction.
