Riding high on the wave of its recent triumph at the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) 2025, Magamba Network is thrilled to announce that its award-winning series, Magweja, will broadcast on Crown TV in Zambia, marking a landmark first for Magamba Network as it takes its productions across the border for the very first time.
The premiere episode will air on Monday, 16 March 2025, at 19:30 hrs, prime time viewing, bringing the gripping world of Magweja to Zambian audiences.
Magweja claimed the coveted Outstanding Screen Production award at NAMA 2025, and Magamba Network is basking in that well-deserved recognition.
The award is a resounding affirmation of the series’ artistic excellence and powerful cultural resonance, a victory that now carries Magamba’s storytelling beyond Zimbabwe’s borders.
Set against the complex and often overlooked landscape of Zimbabwe’s extractive sector, Magweja shines an unflinching spotlight on the mining industry, specifically on the lived realities of artisanal miners whose stories have long remained on the margins of mainstream storytelling.
The series captures the human cost, the resilience, and the raw complexity of life in Zimbabwe’s mining communities with authenticity and depth.
The partnership with Crown TV is a significant milestone for Magamba Network. Zambia, as a fellow southern African nation with deep ties to the mining industry, provides the ideal audience to connect with the stories Magweja tells, stories of community, survival, and the pursuit of dignity that transcend borders.
“The Nama recognition affirmed what we always believed, that Magweja is a story that resonates far beyond Zimbabwe’s borders. Bringing it to Zambia through Crown TV is not just an expansion, it is a conversation we are proud to begin with a new audience,” said award winning playwright, actor and filmmaker, Dereck Nziyakwi who is the Director for Magweja.
Zambian audiences can catch the premiere of Magweja on Crown TV on Monday, 16 March 2025 at 19:30 hrs. Do not miss it.
