EXCLUSIVE: African entertainment heavyweight Jan du Plessis is back in business. The high-profile exec has been named President of Primedia Studios soon after leaving South African pay-TV network M…
He has also produced around 70 films for M-Net, many of which took top ratings on networks such as Mzansi Magic, KykNET and M-Net Movie. Elsewhere, he established the AfricanFilmLibrary , which is now one of the world’s largest repositories of African movie with more than 1,000 in its vault.
“Jan is an exceptionally talented professional who will inspire our company’s next generation of young people as well as our industry’s next generation of leaders,” said Primedia CEO Procter. “His innovation has created countless opportunities for both audiences and advertisers. For Primedia and the rest of the African continent, this will be a pivotal moment in our industry’s development.”
Du Plessis added he was “confident that international format rights-holders, studios and indies will share our excitement at the launch of Primedia Studios. “Our clients and advertisers can expect the best local content, including new and revitalised formats, and dedicated marketing support,” he added. “Marvel discovered that Africa has superheroes too and Wakanda can be forever. We want the real character and stories of Africa to infuse everything we do and we will invest all available resources in the IP that brings these stories to life.
After Du Plessis exited M-Net, the pay giant consolidated key management teams under Director for KykNET Channels Waldimar Pelser.
