Yes, to the Impossible: The Nolo Letele Story
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary
A documentary about the life of former MultiChoice Group Executive Chairperson Nolo Letele.
The documentary shows how growing up in an era where the spirit of independence was sweeping across Africa shaped Letele's vision for the continent to have its own voice – and how he worked tirelessly to realise that vision.
To speak of the growth of the African broadcast media industry is to speak of the result of Nolo's endeavours, passion for African storytelling and relentless commitment to excellence.
After studying electronic engineering at the University of Southampton, and later becoming a chartered engineer, Nolo applied for jobs in South Africa - only to find there were hardly any jobs for a black electronics graduate back in 1974.
He ended up working for Lesotho National Broadcasting Service, a small radio station and subsequently played a major role in starting the first TV station in Lesotho in 1988.
Having established his credentials, he was then asked to join M-Net in 1990 by then-Naspers CEO Koos Bekker to help build DStv into a global brand.
In spite of South Africa's image during those Apartheid years, Letele succeeded in pioneering MultiChoice's expansion into the rest of Africa, and in 1995 went on to serve in Ghana as West African regional general manager.
He returned home when he was appointed chief executive of MultiChoice South Africa a few years later.
Frat Boys: Inside America's Fraternities
Channel: S3
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary
America's college fraternities are notorious for hard drinking and hard partying, but they are also accused of fostering a culture of brutality and sexual assault.
During one term at the University of Central Florida, the BBC's This World programme follows the life of a group of Frat Boys as they embark on the pledging process, when new recruits have to prove themselves before they can become a fraternity brother.
Most kids are joining because fraternities provide access to a powerful network of alumni throughout the US.
But each year students die or are injured in barbaric initiation rituals, known as hazing.
And some argue that the way fraternity system is set up allows sexual assaults to occur during drunken campus parties.
Research has shown that fraternity men are three times more likely to sexually assault than non fraternity men.

Louis Theroux: Life on the Edge
Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Documentary Series
Louis Theroux reflects on 25 years in documentary-making with this candid retrospective.
Revisit the very best, and strangest, moments in Louis's celebrated TV career.
Utilising his own home movie footage and news archives, Louis also tracks down past contributors and finds out whether their lives have settled down – or spiralled off in even more surprising directions.
And for the very first time, Louis puts himself in the spotlight.
With his trademark wit, the filmmaker discusses the unique challenges of documentary making, and the invaluable lessons he's learned about human psychology along the way.
In the first episode, Louis looks back at his earliest documentaries and explores how some people's most fervent beliefs can bring them into conflict with mainstream society.
From his Weird Weekends episodes on Survivalists and UFOs, to his now-notorious documentary about the White Aryan Resistance in California (Louis And The Nazis), Louis has always been drawn to those whose beliefs seem unusual, confused or, in some cases, abhorrent.
Louis catches up again with some of his previous contributors including Mike Cain, who he first met in the mid 90s, having moved to the hills of Idaho and arming himself for what he saw as an inevitable war with the federal government.
Over 20 years later and his views haven't changed much - but in Donald Trump, he has a president who finally speaks to him.
Louis also tracks down Lamb and Lynx, once members of the white nationalist pop group Prussian Blue.
They have since rejected their past and believe their story gives hope that even the most indoctrinated can change their beliefs.
