    Kampala: The Ministry of ICT and National Guidance (MoICT & NG) in partnership with MultiChoice Africa Holdings represented by MultiChoice Uganda, the leading provider of premium pay-TV entertainment in Uganda, is proud to mark the successful completion of a comprehensive Strategic Communications and Digital skills training programme for Government Communications Officers.

    The graduation ceremony, officiated by the Permanent Secretary (PS) of Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, Dr. Aminah Zawedde, was held at the National ICT Innovation Hub in Nakawa.

    The week-long capacity-building initiative was held in 2 cohorts on 07th to 08th July and 09th to 10th July 2025 and is part of the broader Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the Ministry and MultiChoice Africa Holdings to promote digital literacy, responsible communication, and local capacity building in Uganda.
    The training covered essential areas such as issues and crisis management, localization of government communications, visual media and storytelling. The training, paired with real-life case studies and group exercises, equipped the participants with the necessary tools for public communications especially in a rapidly evolving digital media environment.

    Dr. Aminah Zawedde highlighted the importance of collaboration between the private and public sectors for national growth. She stated that, “Through this training, we have laid a strong foundation for enhanced citizen engagement and national development. We are proud to be tapping into MultiChoice Uganda’s extensive expertise in broadcasting and digital content development.”

    Speaking at the graduation, Hassan Saleh, Managing Director, MultiChoice Uganda, said, “At MultiChoice Uganda, we believe that great storytelling is essential to progress. We are proud to be executing activities we set out to achieve with the MOU signed with the Ministry last year. We are also honoured to support the Ministry in enhancing the voice of government and building a stronger connection with the public.”

    Speaking on behalf of the participants, Hellen Kawesa, Assistant Director Communications and Public Relations at Parliament of Uganda, commented, “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the MoICT & NG and MultiChoice for the invaluable training, where we learnt the critical importance of crisis communication, localized communication and story telling among others.

    While addressing the media, Rinaldi Jamugisa, PR and Communications Manager at MultiChoice Uganda expressed his gratitude to the Ministry for their partnership and collaboration in advancing storytelling, skills development, and strengthening national institutions through effective communications training.

    “Yesterday, I officiated the graduation ceremony of over 200 Government Communicators from various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies who successfully completed an intensive one week training in Strategic Communications and Digital Skills.

    This training was made possible by the Memorandum of Understanding signed in May 2024 in South Africa between MoICT Ug and MultiChoice. That agreement marked a major step toward enhancing digital literacy, promoting responsible communication, and building local capacity within Uganda’s public sector.

    Through this initiative, we have laid a strong foundation for improved communication that speaks to the realities of the digital era and resonates with the people we serve.

    I commend all participants for their dedication and encourage them to use these skills to tell Uganda’s story with clarity, integrity, and purpose,” Aminah Zawedde posted on her X after.

  • New Documentary Tells Media Visionary Nolo Letele’s Story

    New Documentary Tells Media Visionary Nolo Letele’s Story

    Harnessing the power of possibility to help Africa claim its space in the global broadcasting industry is the subject of Yes To Impossible: The Nolo Letele Story, a documentary about the life of former MultiChoice Group Executive Chairperson Nolo Letele.

    Coming to DStv and GOtv from Thursday 13 June at 17:00 and on Saturday 15 June at 20:30, both on Pearl Magic (DStv Channel 161 & GOtv Channel 301), the documentary shows how growing up in an era where the spirit of independence was sweeping across Africa shaped Letele’s vision for the continent to have its own voice – and how he worked tirelessly to realise that vision.

    To speak of the growth of the African broadcast media industry is to speak of the result of Nolo’s endeavours, passion for African storytelling and relentless commitment to excellence.

    After studying electronic engineering at the University of Southampton, and later becoming a chartered engineer, Nolo Letele applied for jobs in South Africa – only to find there were hardly any jobs for a black electronics graduate back in 1974. He ended up working for Lesotho National Broadcasting Service, a small radio station and subsequently played a major role in starting the first TV station in Lesotho in conjunction with M-Net in 1988.

    Having established his credentials, he was then asked to join M-Net in 1990 – he describes it as “being thrown in the deep end” – by then-Naspers CEO Koos Bekker to help build DStv into the juggernaut it is today. In spite of South Africa’s image during those apartheid years, Letele succeeded in pioneering MultiChoice’s expansion into the rest of Africa, and in 1995 went on to serve in Ghana as West African regional general manager. He returned home when he was appointed chief executive of MultiChoice South Africa a few years later.

    In 1999, he was appointed as MultiChoice Group chief executive until 2010, when he was appointed executive chair of the MultiChoice South Africa Holdings board, a position he held for 11 years. He became a non-executive director of MultiChoice Group Limited after the company was spun out of Naspers and listed independently on the JSE.

    Letele received several awards during his tenure at MultiChoice, including a Lifetime Africa Achievement Prize for Media Development in Africa; the Naspers Phil Weber Award; and the Black Business Executive Circle Chairman’s Award.

    “I’m proud to have helped connect Africa to the world and give the continent a voice,” says Letele. “MultiChoice’s reach is unparalleled in Africa and it has given the people of Africa the opportunity to tell their own stories in their own languages. We have grown industries, created jobs and contributed meaningfully to economic growth across the continent – it’s something I hold very dear as the realization of a vision I had over 35 years ago when I joined a small Pay-TV business in South Africa”.

    Yes To Impossible: The Nolo Letele Story premieres on Pearl Magic (DStv Channel 161 & GOtv Channel 301), with repeats across all channels in the following days and will also be available on DStv Catch Up, DStv Stream, GOtv Stream and Showmax.
