The SABC Wants South Africans To Pay A TV Licence For PCs, Cellphones And Tablets

The SABC Wants South African's To Pay A TV Licence For PCs, Cellphones And Tablets

In the light of losing viewers to Netflix, Showmax, YouTube and other online subscription services, the SABC is considering making it mandatory for people to pay a TV licence for devices they view content on. For example, computers, cellphones and tablets.

South Africa’s public broadcaster seems to be grasping at straws by trying to introduce a ridiculous new Broadcasting Act that forces millions of people to pay a fee to view content on their personal electronic devices. SABC CEO James Aguma told parliament that this would broaden the collection base for SABC TV licences which in turn would help to increase the potential revenue for the cash-strapped public broadcaster.

In all honesty, I can’t even remember the last time I watched SABC. It might have been in 2010, during the FIFA World Cup. Nevertheless, like a good citizen, I have paid my TV licence regardless. However, this is completely preposterous. Not only do I not watch SABC channels on any of these devices, but I’m not interested in watching them anywhere for any sort of reason at all. It’s as silly as charging birds air passenger tax.

    Maybe the sabc should catch a fkn wake up, do their job, stay up to date with current material, services & technology & maybe even raise their game a little.. But that would be fkn absurd, of course

    This is gonna end up the same as e-toll, a lot of money wasted with almost everyone refusing to pay. They seem to be suffering from a id10t error.

    Having to pay for content on your mobile device is a attack on net neutrality. Forcing someone to pay extra to use services that you are already paying for. This is all becouse the current broadcaster can not compete with their C grade content
