Online streaming giant Netflix has said that it plans to expand operations in Africa, saying its $175m (£140m) investment on the continent since 2016 has already created some hit shows.

The announcement was made at an event in Johannesburg where Netflix launched a report on its impact in South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya.

According to the report, the company has created 12,000 jobs on the continent and intends to build on this success beyond just three countries.
