\u201cHoney is going to add a sweet and sticky flavour to our subscriber offering. Lifestyle content is the ideal vehicle to reflect the continent\u2019s diversity and sameness.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone curious about food, style, and weddings is in for a treat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The MultiChoice channel is packaged by Media24\u2019s television unit which is also responsible for Afrikaans lifestyle channel, VIA.<\/p>\n
