View source for Sci-Fi Channel Southern Africa

'''SCI-FI SOUTHERN AFRICA (SCIFISA)''' was a sister-channel of the satellite and cable station [[Sci-Fi Channel Europe]]. Based out of [[South Africa]], '''SCIFISA''' had much of the same content as its UK counterpart, but it was a separate feed with its own scheduled programming.

The full extent of its coverage area is unknown, but based on available listings information, it reached north-east to [[Mozambique]]. (Geographically, the other countries that could be classed as being in the southern region of Africa would include [[Botswana]], [[Swaziland|Eswatini]], Lesotho, Namibia, and [[Zimbabwe]].)

The station was available on '''Channel 39''' of the South African-based '''[https://www.tvsa.co.za/channels/viewchannel.aspx?channelid=95 DStv platform]''' (launched on 6 October 1995), and on '''Canal 21''' in [[Mozambique]].

'''Sci-Fi Southern Africa''' was closed down on '''1 July 2004'''.
