Mozambique

The company merges its passion for uplifting Mozambicans with its promise to provide outstanding content in its most ambitious corporate social value initiative to date – the MultiChoice Tale Factory (MTF).

This initiative aims to develop the next generation of Mozambican filmmakers and ignite the country’s creative industries, via a fully-paid 12-month learnership under the tutelage of some of Africa’s top creatives.

In 2018, the program kicked off with Gerson Amaral and Ludmila Mero representing Mozambique at the prestigious MTF Academy of Southern Africa in Lusaka, Zambia. Since then, the program has seen 8 Mozambican graduates, who have fully entered the local entertainment industry and made their mark. Amongst them is Nelson Omar Faquirá (Class of 2022), who is gearing up to produce his second fictional series for the Maningue Magic Channel.

Each success story from the program is an example that aside from being upskilled in all areas of film production, these students – and those who follow in years to come – will help grow Mozambique’s film and TV sector, while proactively feeding the country’s content pipeline with high-quality, original local productions.

This initiative demonstrates the breadth of MultiChoice Mozambique’s commitment to the country, which is underscored by its long-term partnerships with Government, the national broadcaster and regulator, as well as entrepreneurs and bright young talent to co-create a prosperous nation for all.
