History

The launch of this channel comes just after Siyaya TV, a 100% black-owned company, received a pay-TV licence from the broadcasting regulator ICASA but failed to start its own pay-TV service, thus, they instead focused on creating channels for DStv. Initially, Siyaya TV previously secured exclusive broadcasting rights to the Premier Soccer League, which were later resold to the SABC.

It was announced on 8 June 2021 that it will roll out a new sister channel called Moja 9.9 from 16 June 2021 for DStv Access Subscribers, adding a new youth talk show, Start Somewhere

Programming

Channel head Jacqui Setai explains that Moja Love "explores love from the unique perspective of the modern South African woman using honest, reflective, hopeful and humorous storytelling"

The channel is dedicated to celebrating different dimensions of love, and is filled with new-to-air exclusive locally produced content primarily targeted at women
