You'll need to enable the nonfree release and updates repositories. The documentation explains how:
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/3/en/content ... media.html
You may find it helpful to review the whole section on Software Management. If there is anything that's not clear post back here.

If you have a 64bit system, you will also need the core32 release and updates repositories.
