French media giant Canal+ now controls South African broadcaster MultiChoice, the parent company behind DStv, after completing what the company calls the largest transaction in Canal+’s history.

The takeover became unconditional on September 19, after all regulatory hurdles were cleared. Canal+ now directly controls 94.39% of MultiChoice shares.
