Disney Jr. is expanding its localized content in South Africa by dubbing popular shows like 'Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends' and 'Sofia the First' into isiZulu. This initiative aims to make children's programming more accessible to local language speakers.
Why it matters
The move represents a significant effort by global media companies to localize content for African markets, promoting cultural representation and language preservation.
Disney Jr. (DStv channel 309) is expanding its localised audio offerings on DStv by introducing brand new isiZulu dubs on two beloved flagship series, starting this month with “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” ( 13 July) and followed by “Sofia the First” (17 August). Both series will be available on Disney Jr. and DStv Catch Up.
Fans of “Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends” will be able to tune in Monday to Fridays at 08:10 (CAT) from 13 July – 14 August, with a daily rerun at 15:05 (CAT). The fan favourite series is the first full-length Marvel series for preschoolers and follows Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales and their adventures as the young heroes team up with Hulk, Ms. Marvel and Black Panther to defeat foes like Rhino, Doc Ock and Green Goblin and learn that teamwork is the best way to save the day.
