VoxAfrica TV launches Voice Afrique Francophone season 2

After an exceptional first season, that saw more than 10 million people in Cameroon and 9 million viewers in Ivory Coast alone tuning in every Saturday, for five months, Voxafrica TV has announced the launch of the second season of the highly rated flagship TV show, with auditions beginning this month, June 2017.

The show, which is officially sponsored by Orange, will be broadcasted every Saturday from October 14, 2017 on Voxafrica TV’s Francophone Africa and Europe platforms. The Voice Afrique Francophone will also be replayed on partnering TV channels.
