A documentary special that celebrates the remarkable, leading work of the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative (AFR100) being accomplished on the continent.

With deforested and degraded landscapes being a key environmental issue facing the continent, The Grand African Green Up introduces the people directly affected by the deteriorating state of their land, as well as the local heroes who are working to make a difference.

Interviewees from across the documented countries showcased include a singer, a bishop, a student researcher, an environmentalist and a journalist, all giving their first-hand perspective on how this issue has impacted them and their communities, the work being done to restore productivity to the land, and what the future holds as a result.

Call Me Kat

Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Comedy

Call Me Kat

Based on the BBC UK series Miranda, Call Me Kat stars Mayim Bialik as a woman who struggles every day against society and her mother to prove that she can still live a happy and fulfilling life despite still being single at 39.

Which is why she recently spent her entire savings to open a cat café in Louisville, Kentucky.

It was expected of Kat (Bialik) to be married with kids by now, but for many reasons, she's still single - and totally fine with it.

Of course, Kat's mother, Sheila (Swoosie Kurtz), views her daughter's single-hood as her own personal failure, but Kat remains determined to live a fulfilling life, and charts her own course to happiness.

Working alongside Kat at the café are Randi (Kyla Pratt) a confident millennial and self-proclaimed "non" cat person, and Phil (Leslie Jordan), who recently broke up with his longtime partner.

Although Kat celebrates her independence, her single-forever plans may begin to veer off-course, when her former crush and good friend, Max (Cheyenne Jackson) returns to town and takes a job as a bartender at the piano bar across the street working with his friend Carter.
