I was going through TV channels the other day and happened to come across a new channel called ED on DSTV channel 318. It is an educational channel with some really interesting content. Content I love to watch especially about Africa. Channel ED offers DStv customers a portal to knowledge.
Most of the programs comprise of informative African content ranging from science, technology, trends, fashion and documentaries.
I watched a two documentaries one titled 'Iron Ladies Of Liberia' and the other was about Mali transcripts'. They were both fascinating, educational and entertaining.
