New app puts great sports in audience’s hands
A
S TECHNOLOGY continues to
develop, we do not necessarily have
to be glued to the TV to enjoy the
content on the line-up. Thanks to
mobile devices, the internet and satellite
technology, you can now access NBA games
from wherever you are, as long as you have
the Kwese App and internet access.
Joseph Hundah, the CEO Econet Media,
said: “Kwese is a product of Econet Media,
which is part of the Econet group. The group
has a number of holdings, the largest being
telecoms, Econet Wireless as well as Liquid
Telecom which supplies fibre networks in
southern and East Africa. Kwese came about
when we realised that there was a significant
amount of convergence between telecoms
and media. So the telecoms side realised
that they are content to fill up their 4G data
networks. As that developed, we realised we
could make money from the media business
and we developed that.
“We didn’t want our business to
be dependent on (a particular kind of
technology) to deliver premium content to
people who do not have a specific platform.
Whether on satellite, mobile, iPad or PC, it
doesn’t matter to us, our mission is to deliver
content in any form that people can consume
it. The content we are looking at is sports and
entertainment in general,” he added.
So you can leave your TV in the lounge
and catch the games in the comfort of your
bed at 3am. Kwese has made the experience
as inexpensive as possible, given the ever-
soaring data prices.
“When we did the deal with the NBA,
we promised them that we will give them
more viewers than they had before. One of
the biggest strategies we have is Kwese Free
Sports which is available in Kenya, Rwanda
and Malawi. In essence, we are showcasing
basketball there, for free, as a promotion. In
South Africa, we have an App called Kwese
and all the basketball games are available.
Again, they are available free until some time
next year. This is how far we have gone to
make the game accessible,” said Hundah.
According to him, there is a direct
relationship between the popularity of
any sporting discipline and the amount of
emphasis put on broadcasting its games.
“One of the things that we lamented when
we started this business was the fact that
there was so much value attributed to soccer
in particular. We felt that there are other
sport disciplines that are extremely popular
in Africa that are growing and yet don’t get as
much exposure as soccer does.
“The thing is, the English Premier League
was not always a big game in Africa like it is
today. There was the German League which
was on free-to-air. If we focus on basketball,
the way English soccer is being promoted,
then it can just be as popular,” he theorised.
While data charges are generally high,
Hundah sees a light at the end of the tunnel
that will make it easy for the man on the
street to afford access to Kwese’s content.
“We are seeing a significant drop in the
cost of data across Africa, but it is still not
cheap. There are a lot of environments where
people have access to wi-fi so it is important
for us to deliver content on all platforms
whether it is wi-fi, 4G or fibre.
“This has its own challenges, which is
why we are giving it for free for now, because
we know people pay for data. We are finding
solutions to still access the content at a lower
resolution. I watched a game the other day,
a low-res game in Nigeria, and it was still
good,” he said.
But is Kwese going to concentrate
on basketball alone? The answer is a
resounding “no”.
“For South Africa, we have several other
sports that we have rights for. We are talking
about extreme fighting, Formula E, we have
the free-to-air rights to the South African
premier league and we get one game a week,
every 3pm on a Saturday. We also have
netball, tennis and women’s basketball,” said
Hundah.

and iOS platforms and take advantage of
free sport shows.
