Khumalo recently replaced Eben Greyling as MultiChoice Africa President. A seasoned executive with a comprehensive track record at MultiChoice Africa’s operations around the continent, Khumalo intends to sustain the company’s strategic focus of investing in people, supporting the development of small businesses, technology and local content.

Meanwhile, former president, Greyling has taken over as Head of pay-TV platforms at MultiChoice Africa’s parent company MIH.

“Despite the tough operating environment following the global financial crisis, our growth in subscriber numbers is pleasing.” says Khumalo. He attributes this growth to the rich and diverse range of world class channels, as well as to the variety of affordable DStv bouquet options. “DStv provides some of the best television entertainment worldwide. It is an affordable and attractive option, catering for the whole family.” says Khumalo.

With operations in 48 Sub-Saharan countries, Khumalo will continue to focus on MultiChoice Africa’s investments and on satellite infrastructure, digital technology and new channels, with the focus ultimately on improving the DStv subscribers’ experience. In line with this focus, MultiChoice recently rolled out High Definition Personal Video Recorders (HD PVRs), allowing subscribers more control over their viewing through added function such as recording, rewinding and pausing live television, allowing viewers to watch programmes at their own convenience.
