One Africa Television is a Namibian free-to-air television station that was established in November 2003.[1][2] It was founded by Paul van Schalkwyk in 2003, marking the country's inaugural private television network.[3] The channel replaced the local affiliate of TVAfrica that entered a period of limbo after its parent company in South Africa was put into liquidation.[4]
In 2020, the TribeFire Studios Group acquired One Africa Television.
Paul van Schalkwyk, the founder and group chairman of One Africa Television, died in a plane crash on March 10, 2014.[5]

The channel presents various segments including:
- TodayOnOne (featuring community news and current affairs, broadcast daily)
- LearnOnOne (providing educational content for both school and adult audiences, offering extra classes and daytime TV, available at www.learnononbe.org)
- It's A Wrap (offering commentary on current affairs)
- The Tribe (showcasing local music)
Additionally, foreign programs like 7de Laan and BBC are also part of the broadcasting lineup.
