I have been told by a VM source that this will also be coming to VM.

Interesting rumour. This is not a rich channel and relies very much on the goodwill of other broadcasters to obtain airtime free of charge (but they don't get paid carriage fees).
If this channel does appear, it does look like VM are now thinking of the bigger picture. By this I mean that they are now willing to consider adding channels that make little or no money for the company, in the larger interest.
For example, an African Sky customer may not have switched to VM because of the lack of The Africa Channel. Although the channel does not make VM shed loads of money, it's presence may lead the above mentioned customer to consider VM and go on to take some profitable services.
In fairness to VM, they couldn't do this before the extra capacity was added to the system.
