AfriForum launches free online Afrikaans streaming platform
"AfriForums production houses have already produced numerous quality entertainment series, current affairs, children’s programmes and documentaries."
AfriForum launched an online Afrikaans streaming platform during a gala event at the AfriForum theatre in Menlopark this week.
It is a free online platform from which AfriForum members and non-members can stream Afrikaans content of various genres.
AfriForumTV was established to broaden the AfriForum community as a gathering place for online entertainment to support the Afrikaans community and establish a new voice in the media world.
Subscribers can explore various channels in the comfort of their own homes on their televisions, computers or cellphones by using the AfriForumTV app.
The content consists of entertainment, news, current affairs, school sports, reality and lifestyle programmes, podcasts and children’s entertainment. It is provided by AfriForumTV itself, institutions within the solidarity movement and external content providers.
CEO of AfriForum, Kallie Kriel, said the creation of AfriForumTV was a logical next step that followed from AfriForum and the solidarity movement’s goal of establishing community independence and independent institutions in a wide range of areas of life.
“AfriForumTV is currently offering an independent platform for new voices to convey a variety of messages and offer a wider choice to viewers,” he said.
“During the Covid-19 restrictions there was a greater tendency to stream content online.
“AfriForum’s production houses have already produced numerous quality entertainment series, current affairs, children’s programmes and documentaries. This ensures that AfriForumTV can now be launched with a solid programme offer while new content will be produced throughout. A platform will be offered to outside producers,” he added.
The app is available on Google Playstore and will be available on the App Store soon.
