An image can never consist of a single unit – and no matter whether it is composed of brush strokes, pieces of glass or millions of pixels, the magic lies in the interaction of the elements.  This is what makes Eastern Mosaic such an entertaining and informative viewing experience, focusing on life and lifestyle with an eastern connection – at home in South Africa and throughout the world.

Since the launch of the new-look Eastern Mosaic in November 2000, this premium quality magazine show has developed a global reach while attracting an ever-increasing audience in South Africa and the continent as a whole.  These viewers are drawn by the programme’s fascinatingly diverse content – with weekly features covering fashion, cuisine, cinema, travel destinations, entertainment, arts and culture – shot on location in South Africa, Asia and wherever the eastern way of life has found a home, thanks to the Indian diaspora.  But it isn’t all glitz and glamour as matters of community interest also receive regular coverage, including profiles of leading figures in the community, special reports on social awareness issues and features showcasing the talents of local artists, singers, dancers, writers, jewellers and other creative spirits.
    
A proud property of SABC 2, Eastern Mosaic is produced by Red Carpet Productions – a Johannesburg-based production company whose presenters and production team have a well-established track record of excellence in the field of lifestyle entertainment with an eastern and African theme.  In 2006 the show was nominated for the inaugural Golden Horn Awards – recognising achievements in the broadcasting arena, presented by the South African Film and Television Association.    As part of its continual enhancement of the show’s appeal and value, the Eastern Mosaic production team regularly attends international events, as well as establishing a high-profile presence at leading fashion and food shows in South Africa.

This has enabled local audiences to experience and enjoy eastern couture and cuisine first-hand, as presented by world-class designers and celebrity chefs.   Keeping abreast with international trends and local lifestyle – from Paris to Pushkar, from Chatsworth to Chennai, Eastern Mosaic celebrates South African diversity and the art of eastern living.  Viewers who would like to expand their lifestyle horizons eastwards can tune into Eastern Mosaic - at home on SABC2 on Sunday mornings at 11:30.
