Econet&#8217;s Kwes\u00e9 TV is already the home of VICELAND in the region. The new venture launches in 2018. From the Johannesburg headquarters, with satellite offices in Nairobi and Lagos, Kwes\u00e9 VICE will deliver tailored lifestyle and culture programming for Sub-Saharan Africa. It will also house creative agency Virtue Worldwide, which will deliver branded content specifically for the local African market.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Elek, CEO of VICE Media in EMEA, commented, \u201cContinuing to build on what\u2019s been a flourishing partnership with Econet over the past year, we\u2019re excited to be fully launching VICE across the region. Pairing Econet\u2019s extensive local knowledge and innovative distribution with VICE\u2019s creative powerhouse and storytelling expertise, we\u2019re committed to delivering a fresh new voice for Africa&#8217;s diverse youth audiences.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Joseph Hundah, president and group CEO of Econet Media, added, \u201cWe\u2019ve announced a number of landmark partnerships for the continent and this venture is particularly exciting as it adds to our offering for the youth demographic across the continent.
