Hmm just like The Merc wrote about months ago. Maybe we shall protect our Media cause we don’t control our narrative. Even tv programs are mostly foreign instead of Local.

Yep this is a big issue! In this piece I've tried to translate to English some more information about Vincent Bollore which is usually only available in French.

Interesting read. I never even knew about him. DSTV has not been performing very well in SA so he can have it.

This is from Scroll XVI of my project The Hidden Clinic. I wrote it as a prayer—not a statement. Not for applause. Just rhythm for witness. https://thehiddenclinic.substack.com/p/to-the-ones-who-were-set-on-fire

Canal+ polska is part owned by Canal+ so yes he has some control over it at least. Canal+ polska (formerly Cyfra+ and nc+) is co-owned by Canal+, TVN and Liberty Global.

Thank you and well done for this great piece. If you read French, I suggest you consult the articles about Bolloré published by Afrique XXI : https://afriquexxi.info/Bollore-un-empire-francafricain
