The Good Life Network switches on on World Aids Day
South African viewers will for the first time on 1 December, 2015 tune in to gripping, entertaining and informative dedicated health and lifestyle channel The Good Life Network (GLN) on DStv channel 199.
This new innovation is the brainchild of the Soul City Institute known for its award-winning dramas on South Africa’s television since 1994. This time the institute has partnered with Ochre Media (known for shows like Zola Seven), Times Media Group and the National Department of Health. To launch South Africa’s first dedicated health and lifestyle channel the Soul City Institute with its partners will be led by Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa (in his capacity as chair of the South African National Aids Council) and minister of health Dr Aaron Motsoaledi in counting down to the channel’s maiden flight at a Switch On event in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg.
The channel will go live at 6PM on 1 December, 2015 and will offer diverse, entertaining and original home-grown content around subjects such as nutrition, health and fitness, human rights, youth sexuality, HIV and TB, as well as consumer and gender rights.
In line with observing World Aids Day, GLN kicks off its bespoke health and lifestyle content with a revealing documentary Finding Others – a personal account of HIV activist Pholokgolo Ramothwala coming to terms with his HIV-positive diagnosis.
Other shows scheduled to air on GLN’s premiere include:
• Fit Life – Get into the world of kickboxing
• Food Police – Learn how to eat better and cook healthier
• Super Doc – All you ever wanted to know about cervical cancer
• Village Shrink – Therapy for the people focusing on mental health and wellness
GLN’s shows will be hosted by a mix of established and new local personalities selected for their immense experience and passion in their various fields of expertise. South Africa’s celebrated funny man Joey Rasdien headlines Health Busters a show debunking health myths while employing a dose of South African humour.
Other on-air presenters include popular African foodie Lazy Makoti (Mogau Seshoene) who serves up affordable and authentic budget meals on Cooks for Life; Dr Gau hosts Super Doc – advising on medical matters, especially those pertaining to critical lifestyle an sexual reproductive health; Fit Life’s Lumumba Medicine explores community-based fitness options; and the Village Shrink, which is a journey to better mental health, will be anchored by the popular therapist Mthetho Tshemese
