Get Into The World Cup Spirit On kykNET NOU!

For the first time in kykNET’s 20-year existence, one of its channels will share the excitement of Rugby World Cup matches – live.

Before every South African match, Geesvang will be broadcast on kykNET NOU! (DStv 146). Geesvang will consist of conversations with experts, including Springboks like Naas Botha, Kobus Wiese, Schalk Burger, Werner Swanepoel, Breyton Paulse and Victor Matfield. After matches, the clash that just came to an end will be discussed on Eindfluitjie. Geesvang is an hour long and Eindfluitjie half an hour. The English discussions before and after matches will still be on SuperSport 1.

World Cup fever is also running high on other kykNET channels with programmes like In Japan, Ja!. Tune in to see Vanes-Mari du Toit and Hamilton Wessels follow the Boks through Japan, experiencing the country’s rich culture along the way, every Saturday at 18:30.

Erns Grundling was ahead of the curve and visited Japan in the follow-up to his hit series Elders: Die Camino. You can catch the last episode of Elders: Japan on 24 September at 21:00. And then of course Toks, Breyten and Janina will share their insights, expectations and predictions every Friday in Toks en Tjops at 20:00.
