TX Time: 19h25 | 21h30
Genre: Sport, Special
The Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games airs live on SuperSport and delayed on SABC2 and will be bold, original and unique.
For the first time in the history of the Olympic Summer Games, the Opening Ceremony will not take place in a stadium.
Paris 2024 is breaking new ground by bringing sports into the city and the same will be true of the Opening Ceremony, set to be held in the heart of the city along its main artery: the Seine.
Taking on a new guise, the parade of athletes will be held on the Seine with boats for each national delegation.
These boats will be equipped with cameras to allow television and online viewers to see the athletes up close.
Winding their way from east to west, the 10,500 athletes will cross through the centre of Paris, the overall playing field for the Games on which these competitors will display their sporting prowess over the next 16 days.
The parade will come to the end of its 6-kilometre route in front of the Trocadéro, where the remaining elements of Olympic protocol and final shows will take place.
Athletes will be featured on stage during the introduction to and throughout the ceremony as part of Paris 2024's constant aim to hold Games created for and by athletes.
Law & Order 23
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Police Procedural, Drama
For every criminal who is put away, two processes have to happen.
First the crime must be invesigated by the police, then the case must go to trial. Law & Order focuses on both of these.
Set in New York City, the series follows the professional and to a lesser extent the personal lives of several police officers and prosecutors who represent the public interest in the criminal justice system.
The characters frequently encounter dilemmas and frustrations as cases go through the stages of investigation, arrest, negotiation and trial.
Matters are rarely resolved easily, or for the people involved, satisfactorily.
In the Season 23 premiere, "Freedom of Expression": In the wake of a murder on campus, the line between free speech and hate speech at a university is examined.
