One Africa Television is a Namibian free-to-air television station that was established in November 2003.[1][2] It was founded by Paul van Schalkwyk in 2003, marking the country's inaugural private television network.[3] The channel replaced the local affiliate of TVAfrica that entered a period of limbo after its parent company in South Africa was put into liquidation.[4]
In 2020, the TribeFire Studios Group acquired One Africa Television.
Paul van Schalkwyk, the founder and group chairman of One Africa Television, died in a plane crash on March 10, 2014.[5]
