Last night, Universal Channel (DStv 117) on MultiChoice's DStv pay-TV
platform mistakenly aired an "obituary" of Remembering Madiba Nlson
Mandela who is still very much alive.
And now the TV channel is profusely apologising for the "technical error".

by our team."
"We unreservedly apologise to the Mandela family, to Universal Channel
viewers and to DStv subscribers for the alarm and offense caused by
this error. Our thoughts and best wishes are with Madiba and his
family for a speedy and full recovery,"says Universal Networks
