About Imiphanga
So no farewell goes unheard.
South Africa's dedicated funeral notice broadcast show.
The Show
Imiphanga is South Africa's first and only dedicated funeral notice broadcast show. Born in the Eastern Cape, it serves a simple but vital purpose: making sure that when someone passes, their community knows — regardless of how far family members are spread across the country.
The name Imiphanga comes from the IsiXhosa/IsiZulu word for the roads and paths that connect us — reflecting the show's mission to bridge the distance between families and their communities at the most important moments.
Each episode features funeral notices read by a professional presenter in the language of the community — currently IsiXhosa and English, with IsiZulu, SeSotho and more editions in development. Episodes air every Wednesday on YouTube and Facebook, reaching families near and far.
