Called A Carte Blanche: Tribute to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the special tribute went live on channel 199 on all DStv packages across Sub-Saharan Africa from 5pm Sunday 26th December and will run until the Archbishop’s burial.

“MultiChoice is deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu – an exceptional visionary and leader who spent his life in pursuit of justice and service of mankind,” says Imtiaz Patel, MultiChoice Group Executive Chairman. “As Africa’s most-loved storyteller, we want to pay tribute to this remarkable man, and we’ll be bringing his incredible story to life on our tribute channel.”

The content has been collated by Carte Blanche into four parts, comprising different segments and inserts.
