The Premier League clash between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur will take centre stage amongst the major European games scheduled for this coming weekend. DStv your home for the best top-flight football from England, Spain and Italy will have every inch of turf covered with over 25 live matches streaming live on DStv Now and your television.
Liverpool went to the top of the log before the international break when they won a tough clash away to Fulham. The result arrived on the same weekend as the FA Cup quarterfinals, meaning previous leaders Manchester City were not in Premier League action and now have a game in hand on their rivals.
City will want to turn the screw on the Reds with a win away to Fulham on Saturday afternoon in the opening game of the round, more than 24 hours before Jurgen Klopp’s side walk out the tunnel at Anfield to face Spurs.
In Spain’s La Liga, the ‘Derbi Barceloni’ between Barcelona and Espanyol is the key match. Barca come into the game on Saturday afternoon fresh from a 4-1 win away to Real Betis in which Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick to further extend his lead at the top of the scoring charts – the Argentine master has netted 29 goals this season, 11 more than his nearest chaser (which happens to be teammate Luis Suarez).
The result took their lead at the top of the log to a full 10 points and, with a UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Manchester United looming early next month, manager Ernesto Valverde could perhaps look at resting key men in this clash.
Over in Italy’s Serie A, Roma hosting Napoli is the headline battle. The former, in their second game under new manager Claudio Ranieri, slumped to a 2-1 loss away to SPAL which put a major dent in their hopes of finishing in the top four.
Yet getting the better of Napoli, who have won on their last two trips to the Stadio Olimpico, will be no straightforward task for the Giallorossi. The Neapolitans claimed a 4-2 win over Udinese before the international break and have lost just once (to runaway leaders Juventus) in their last 10 league matches.

MultiChoice nails streaming piracy operation Waka TV
![MultiChoice](https://ameyawdebrah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Piracy.jpg)
Following an arrest, investigations are under way into the “thousands of individuals connected to the Waka TV pirate network”.
MultiChoice Group and its technology security subsidiary Irdeto have succeeded in nailing a pirate internet streaming service with the help of Western Cape police investigators.
In a statement on Wednesday, MultiChoice described the dismantling of the pirate steaming operation, called Waka TV, as “a significant victory in the fight against internet streaming piracy”.
The broadcaster said it was involved in a “meticulously planned raid” on 31 May, which led to the arrest of a “key suspect involved in one of the most extensive pirate operations in Africa”.
“This operation represents a major milestone in our relentless commitment to protecting MultiChoice Group’s content and the integrity of our broadcasting services,” it said.
It added that Irdeto made a “substantial investment” to investigate and identify the main suspect involved in the piracy network.
“The suspect, who is believed to have managed several pirate customers and resellers, was detained,” it said, adding that Waka TV “illegally distributed live TV channels, including several DStv channels, movies and series. The disruption caused by this raid is a significant blow to the illegal streaming industry in Africa.
“MultiChoice is working actively with the police as investigations continue into the thousands of individuals connected to the Waka TV pirate network. Resellers supporting the pirate operation are also under investigation. This collaborative effort aims to dismantle the entire network and bring all perpetrators to justice.”
More arrests imminent
It said the arrested suspect – it did not name the individual – appeared in court on 3 June and is facing charges of fraud and contravention of sections 2 to 8 of the Cybercrime Act. “Additional charges are being considered in consultation with the senior public prosecutor.”
The broadcaster said the Western Cape cybercrime unit will thoroughly analyse all the equipment seized during the raid. “This comprehensive analysis is expected to provide additional insights into the extent of the pirate network, and more arrests are imminent,” it said.
“MultiChoice Group would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the cybercrime unit and the Western Cape provincial commercial crime investigation unit for their outstanding support and professionalism throughout this operation. Their efforts have been crucial in achieving this significant breakthrough.” — © 2024 NewsCentral Media

Yes To Impossible : New Documentary Tells Media Visionary Nolo Letele’s Story
![](https://ameyawdebrah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Nolo-Letele-3.jpg)
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 from 13 June at 7pm on Akwaaba Magic (DStv Channel 150), 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 13 June at 21:00 on Akwaaba Magic (DStv Channel 150), with repeats across all channels in the following days and will also be available on DStv Catch Up, DStv Stream and Showmax.
