Nomzamo Mbatha Instagram – 🌍 Africa was in the room 🇫🇷 . Feeling supremely lucky to have been offered this opportunity by @canalplus to take to the stage and speak on the importance of African content on a global scale at the very first ‘The Original ’ event in Paris on Tuesday.
The announcement of some massive projects in their 2026 slate WORLDWIDE and having our show SHAKA ILEMBE Season 3 and SPINNERS S2 in the crux of it all… the proudest feeling!
… there is something deeply meaningful in what will come for the TV and Film industry on the continent: Turning local triumph into global domination and embed African content on global stages in a significant, equal and meaningful way.
The conversation between Maxime Saada and Ted Sarandos signified a seismic shift and solidified the incredible partnership between the two groups.
I spoke right after their fireside chat and the weight of that settled on my shoulders – how does one follow after these two global giants…
well, I come as one…. but I stand as 1,5 billion…
Thankful to @multichoice_group for the many years of nurturing my journey and building content on the continent that fully speaks on what it means to be hyper-local.
