For years, the DStv and GOtv platforms have provided viewers with world-class edutainment, with content catering to personal growth for all ages.
In addition to sport, local programming, news and general entertainment, customers of MultiChoice – Africa’s Most Loved Storyteller, can access educational content on Discovery, Nat Geo Wild, History Channel, DaVinci Kids, BBC and many more channels. The partnership with Udemy will continue MultiChoice’s mission of positively contributing to well-informed and progressive customers.
Udemy’s diverse course catalogue includes over 183,000 online courses provided by more than 65,000 instructors in 75 languages. The platform is user-friendly and simple to navigate, with a flexible format that allows learners to access a wide variety of courses at their own pace; and with personalised recommendations and paths which maximise learning.
While their respective platforms are distinct, MultiChoice and Udemy have a shared mission of providing a vast range of accessible content that enriches the lives of a broad audience with diverse interests and needs. This fitting collaboration will serve customers with a passion for learning.
“We’re very excited to partner with an innovative and purposeful platform like Udemy, especially as the world shifts to an online learning paradigm,” says Fhulufhelo Badugela, Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice Africa.

Investing in the future of our customers in Ghana and the continent is a top priority, and we are proud to be able to collaborate with Udemy – which values the advancement of customers as much as we do.
“As a global learning platform, our mission is to provide access and create new opportunities for learners around the world – across a wide range of content areas and at all levels of expertise,” said Llibert Argerich, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Udemy. “MultiChoice has a long history of prioritising learning, and we’re proud to be working with them to unlock new possibilities for learners across the continent.”
Whether customers are professionals looking to improve their technical skills or students wanting to complement their studies, Udemy offers thousands of fresh and current courses ranging from learning a new language to playing a new instrument to coding, data science and business leadership, including free courses on topics like blogging, personal productivity, and meditation.
