IMAGINE
AFRIKA
The
first authentic African reality show sets up pan-African
challenge for continent’s young achievers and
promotes the vision of an HIV-free generation
Imagine Afrika is the first ever uniquely African
inspired and produced reality television show by
more than 50 African broadcast companies working
together in an unprecedented coalition (see www.broadcasthivafrica.org for more details).
Imagine Afrika pits 12 outstanding young African
achievers against one another to come up with solutions
to some of the continent’s most pressing problems.
Chosen through a continent-wide call for nominations
resulting in more than 10,000 applications, the contestants
have been chosen to represent the diversity of Africa
and for their exceptional personal achievements and
talents.
Over 13 weeks the 12 contestants in three teams will
compete on location in South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda,
Mozambique and Uganda in working with local communities
to initiate efforts to address local problems. With
the primary goal of demonstrating the power of personal
initiative, self esteem and leadership in charting
a future vision for a better future for Africa, the
contestants will specifically focus on factors driving
the HIV/AIDS epidemic as the most debilitating of
the endemic diseases affecting Africa.
Witness the drama as 12 strong personalities from
different cultures and backgrounds battle to find
common ground and to work with local communities
across five countries to help initiate efforts to
tackle basic problems like housing, water supply,
nutrition and HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and
care. The teams will demonstrate the talents and
leadership of Africa’s next generation of leaders
and promote the vision of an HIV-free generation
by challenging all Africans as individuals and as
part of families, communities and nations to think
how they can contribute to that goal.
Each week audiences across 31 African countries will
vote for their favorite teams and a special panel
will score the teams efforts. All the scoring will
be tallied and the teams will come together for a
thrilling finale.
