Tavazi provides the streaming backbone that lets you operate like a professional platform—not a YouTube channel. Your content, your audience, your earnings.
African creators have talent. What they lack is infrastructure.
Global platforms treat African content as an afterthought—your work gets lost competing against Hollywood catalogs.
AfterthoughtYouTube pays African creators $1.50 CPM versus $7+ globally. Your work deserves better.
$1.50 CPMAudiences hungry for African stories have no dedicated platform to find them.
Nowhere to GoWe're not trying to be Netflix. We're building the infrastructure so African creators don't need Netflix.
Your stories, your audience, your earnings. No middlemen taking most of the cut.
Your content lives in a professional library with trailers, categories, and collections—not whatever the algorithm serves up.

Submit your content for review. We're looking for authentic African storytelling with quality production values.

Keep 60-70% of every sale. Get paid via M-Pesa or local payment methods. Your content, your rules.
"Finally, a platform where I can operate like a professional—not just another YouTube channel. My content lives in a real library with trailers and collections, and I keep 65% of every sale."
"M-Pesa payments that actually work, HD streaming that looks professional, and an audience that's actually looking for African content. This is the infrastructure we've been waiting for."
We accept feature films, documentaries, series and micro-dramas, PPV events (concerts, comedy, conferences), and short-form content. All content must be original or you must have distribution rights. We're looking for authentic African storytelling with quality production values—content that challenges, entertains, and inspires.
Payments are processed monthly via M-Pesa (Kenya), Paystack (Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa), or bank transfer. Minimum payout threshold is $20 USD or equivalent. You'll receive 60-70% of each sale depending on your creator tier.
No. Tavazi operates on a non-exclusive model. Your content remains yours. You can distribute it anywhere else you like. We believe creators should maintain control of their work.
We recommend uploading in 1080p (Full HD) or higher. Minimum accepted is 720p. Audio should be clear and well-mixed. We provide technical guidelines after you're accepted.
You choose the monetization model that works for you: SVOD (subscriptions) for loyal fans, TVOD (pay-per-view) for premieres and events, or AVOD (ad-supported) to build your audience with free content. For pay-per-view, you set your own price. We can advise on optimal pricing based on market research.
