Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL) has announced the successful completion of two years of Zee World, the first English-dubbed Bollywood channel in Africa.
The channel was launched on DStv 166 on February 3rd, 2015 in South Africa as well as across the rest of Africa. A bespoke feed was launched for South Africa and the rest of Africa last year, and quickly saw ZEE becoming the number one destination for Bollywood on the continent. Interestingly, the launch of the made-for-Africa feed has seen the channel becoming a huge success in South Africa & Nigeria. Since its debut, the channel’s performance has been exceptional.
Sharing the channel’s anniversary plans, Harish Goyal, CEO of Zee TV Africa said, “As a part of the second anniversary celebrations, the channel will be hosting a new show –Reach for the Stars.”

These will be 24 hour English dubbed Bollywood content showcasing the best of Bollywood blockbusters and top series,” Goyal further added.
