SABC 2 is a South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) television channel that carries programming in English, Afrikaans, the 3 Sesotho Languages spoken in South Africa, Tshivenda, and Xitsonga.

It was created in 1996, after the SABC restructured its television channels. The reduced prominence of Afrikaans angered many speakers of the language, although the channel still features a significant amount of Afrikaans programming, including a news broadcast every weeknight at 19:00 and weekends at 18:00.

M-Net seeing the market need, launched the Afrikaans subscription channel KykNet in 1999 and followed in 2005 with the music channel MK (originally known as MK89.) In 2009, Mnet launched Koowwe, a kids channel broadcasting in Afrikaans
