M-Net's 20th birthday bash

M-Net recently celebrated 20 years of magic and hosted clients and the media in style at the M-Net building in Randburg.

M-Net was first launched in October 1986 and today, broadcasts an impressive array of channels to over 1,3 million subscribers in nearly 50 countries across Africa, defying newspaper headlines in July 1985, which warned that ''Pay TV will not succeed in South Africa''. Along the way, the Home of Magic has celebrated many highlights - like the launch of Carte Blanche in 1988, and the introduction of South Africa's first daily soap opera, Egoli in April 1992.
