Wi-flix, a streaming service that has been popular in Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria and is now available in Zambia, is one of the fastest-growing services in Africa. This comes a few months after Netflix said it would add Dolby Atmos to allow users with devices that support Dolby Atmos to get a better spatial sound experience.
The streaming platform has teamed up with MTN, a big name in mobile phone service, to offer customers in Zambia deals that can’t be beaten. Wi-flix is excited to give its customers access to MTN’s latest 5G high-speed internet connection.
The goal of this exciting relationship is to make streaming even easier and more fun for subscribers. This will improve the customer experience and give viewers the best entertainment options possible.
Some of the other unbeatable packages that come with this new expansion, especially for MTN Zambia customers, include access to thousands of hours of unlimited premium content and daily, weekly, and monthly data packages starting as low as K1 + free 50MB for a daily package, K5 + free 150MB for a weekly package, and K20 + free 300MB bonus.

Wi-flix expansion
The company’s latest plan to grow is based on its big goal to become the best source of information for people on the African continent and in the diaspora. In order to reach even more viewers, the company is growing and becoming a major player in the industry. This will help it reach its Ambition 2025 goal of being the top digital solutions provider for Africa’s progress.
Wi-flix Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer Bright Yeboah said, “Our presence in Zambia is instrumental in our mission to democratize content and ensure affordable premium entertainment is accessible to everyone on the continent and in the diaspora.” Filmmakers, directors, and aggregators in Zambia and elsewhere with excellent content can also monetize their works on our streaming platform.
“We are excited to expand our footprint, which has seen tremendous growth in such a short amount of time,” he said, “with the addition of more content to our catalog for our audiences and meet the growing demand for premium content, establishing Wi-flix as the home of the best of entertainment anywhere, at any time, and on any device.”
Wi-flix launched one year ago
Wi-flix made news in May of last year when it said it had more than one million paid users in just over a year since it started. As a thank you to its loyal subscribers, the streaming platform gave more than 1,000 viewers 48 hours of free access to all their favourite films, series, children’s material, and live TV shows.
According to the research, Netflix’s milestone number of subscribers was likely reached because the platform is always adding new material and making new distribution deals. The company’s growth rate went up by a lot in the first quarter of 2022, with income going up by 51% and subscriptions going up by 61%.
Netflix’s rapid growth shows how committed the platform is to providing high-quality entertainment to fans in Africa and around the world. Even though there are problems like limited connectivity and high data costs, the number of active streaming platforms in the region has grown a lot in the past few years. This is because the continent is getting used to the global trend away from traditional networks.
Netflix has become a big player in an industry that is changing quickly. With its new strategy plan, it’s hard to say what will happen to the platform in the future, but things look good. Netflix will keep pushing the limits and setting new standards for streaming services all over the continent, no matter what.
