SABC must follow DStv and cut off services for those who don't pay, says board candidate

CAPE TOWN - One of the candidates being interviewed for the South African Broadcasting Corporation board says the broadcaster should consider cutting the signal for people who fail to pay their TV licenses.SABC board candidate Mzwakhe Mofokeng said like DStv, the SABC should also cut the signal of people who fail to pay.

This, he said, was the only way to ensure South Africans pay their TV licenses, a matter the SABC has been grappling with for years.“We need to have some sort of technology that will detect when a person has not paid their license.” MPs will be putting candidates through their paces for three days before deciding on the most suitable candidates to serve on the board.

Please start with me..ka le rapela fan

Who cares.

This board is making boaring suggestions. How are they going to do that without digitally switching?

Nobody watches TV anymore.

Muppet how u can cut off

ICASA_org please grant me a free to air channel licence so I can show SABC how money is made...I mean how do you make money with shows like selimathunzi

Surely that Memeber is Not in good state of Mind

Just go ahead we dnt mind about sabc

That board candidate clearly doesn't understand the technology he is presiding over as SABC and DSTV are two different models. Another example of comrades being deployed in positions they know nothing about

SABC is dead I only pay my TV license cos I feel sorry for the broadcaster and cricket is the only thing I watch.

When eventually they grasp that TV licences is a failed system and they must perform to survive there might be some hope. Recover looted millions first. FMFSouthAfrica carteblanchetv

Like really... You a so late. Cut me off like last year.

My fok Marelize! Hoor nou vir die persoon. En die wil nou graag 'n 'Direkteur' van die SAUK wees.

Somblief cut me off

Please. Go ahead...

Please. Then I don't have to pay for a device which never visits your soeknet channels.

Cut me

That candidate is out of touch with reality. Does my granny at Nkandla even know what that means. First it was roads what were commercialized from being free to etolls, now it will be SABC and then electricity handed to one mysterious family That clown can’t be a board member.

Cut off what Noord vir noord Verimark commercials? Getta outta here!!!!

And how would you do that idiot. He is on the board but he doesn’t know how it works

Better

Pls cut me off and stop calling me about my outstanding TV license fees

SABC channels are useless they won’t make any difference

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Most sensible idea they could come up with. Only then will they realise that no one finds their crap worth paying for.Then they'll start giving customers quality for their money & stop this entitlement crap called tvlicences. They can start their cut off with me, I can't wait!

🤣🤣🤣 We don't mind being cut off by the SABC💁🏽‍♀️

Lol funny guy

The only peeps who watch SABC are the ones who don’t pay. 😂

PLEASE cut me off so I dont EVER have to pay SABC for anything !🤣

Why do we have this kind of frontiers

SABC is a public prodcaster incase that candidate has forgotten.ots not profit orientated organisation

😂😂😂

Then no more viewers

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't watch TV very often as my Culture is impaired. You can cut of my TV in December when my Licence expires.

🤣🤣🤣
