Sweet treat! It’s the Mzansi Magic Open Window

How about a holiday treat? DStv’s sensational local channel Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) is being made available for live streaming on the DStv App and at now.dstv.com as part of the Open Window between Sunday, 3 April and Monday, 18 April. That means all the action, scandal and drama will be yours to share with your family over the holiday weekend… and in the days leading up to it.

Along with Mzansi Magic’s gripping daily dramas and classic reality series like Our Perfect Wedding Season 12, you’ll be able to watch the start of drama series Housekeepers Season 3, with acting queen Thando Thabethe who’s going to wrench those tears right out of you, along with the sizzling new Sunday night drama series Umbuso (read all about it here), which is on point as it spotlights South Africa’s issues, right now.

For sheer fun, you can’t beat the jaw dropping sensation of new reality series Twice As Bold Season 1 – and you could be there to join in the riot on the socials when the series goes live on Thursday, 7 April. Twins Olwethu and Owami share everything including a husband, a babydaddy and a divorce! Now they’re looking for husband number two…and to answer their spiritual calling as prophets. And if you love to know the show everyone is chatting about, tune in for the start of Pastor Wants a Wife Season 2, because people had mad opinions about Season 1. Rounding out reality, you can also catch the start of the moving family reunion series Abandoned Season 2.

Read on for more highlights, join the fun for free, and see why so many DStv viewers have picked Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161) as their number one channel!
