The SABC’s latest annual TV Licence Renewal notice says that monitors without receiving capabilities require a TV licence because they can be connected to broadcasting receiving equipment.

, a TV set in South Africa is defined as “any apparatus designed or adapted to be capable of” receiving a broadcast TV signal.

Based on that description, DStv and Openview’s satellite TV decoders also require a TV licence, as they are fitted with tuners for satellite TV broadcasts. The SABC’s executive for corporate affairs and marketing, Gugu Ntuli, said the letter referred to TV monitors connected to TV receiving equipment.

Ahhh a place to comment. This is the ANC and their money grab. Now we are on STAGE 6 loadshedding. Why pay a TV or computer screen licence when the bloody thing doesn't work most of the time?

Lmao bayanya

Wat the sabc keep dreaming or just pay us to watch ur kak channels or just fokof and retire

You steel and break our economy that is why would refuse to pay one more sent to this corruption! What is next... pay to use our phone screens too!

Next they will want TV licence for laptops

Good luck to them though.

Next we'll need a hunting license to eat meat....

No chance

🤣😂 can't be serious bro

Never in my world will I pay for my pc monitor, why must we pay for a service we don't even use, SABC you a disgrace ,your content is kak,don't remember when last I watched Sabc,just another way the anc want to steal money from the people again,voetskake SABC

Clutching at straws I see

What on Earth are the ‘brains’ at SABC smoking?

🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣Clowns

Pay them? For what exactly? Permission to own a screen lmfao this government will tax everything if you let them. Next time you go 2 rounds with the mrs, the ANC gonna need you to lisence it. Just out of ideas and trying to force you to give them money. The SABC is over. Period.

Next your screen in the car must also have a licence...wth?! Madness!

After that then its, if you have a smart phone, you will have to get a tv licence as well.

😂

Haibo

What are the payments for , they wanna turn sabc into sars . Unfortunately things don't work that way

SABCPortal How can we watch anything without the eyes ne? You must investigate the possibility of getting a tv licence for the eyes. Anyone with eyes must pay tv licence even if the eyes don’t see. 1 eyes is 50% discount if you pay within one week. Call me ceo of sabc

wow.... 😂🤣😂 next time your eyes will require a TV license...

LMIMP

SABC will demand licence fees for smartphones very soon.

Another State Institution that is jumping on the ANC bandwagon! SABC we get nothing from you and until hell freezes over we certainly are not paying Licences for monitors. Nowhere in this mad world are people paying Licences for computers! They cost enough as it is! Forget it!

I'm a DStv subscriber so I won't pay any TV Licenses. Multichoice are the ones who must pay portion of my monthly subscription to SABC to cover the TV License fee. As for TV License for Computer monitors, SABC people are smoking Nyaope 🤞

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Voetsek POESE!!!

They know they are selling nonsense on TV and people use other services that cheaper and more value for your money. I mean when last did anyone watch anything on SABC

WTf!! This must be a joke in fact the joke of the century If anything thing now definitely must convince the rest of the world that this country is being run by people in their 2nd childhood

Are they jas?

Times changed, haven't watched any sabc channel in over 3 years, having a TV doesn't mean these sabc clowns should extort money from us with this TV licence nonsense.if they're not getting their cut from multichoise, thats not our problem.

Bayanya, tsek

I can promise you my gaming monitor isn’t used for watching fucking isidingo…

....yeah i got no mail regarding that and would require stores to all pay R265 per year to basically operate (anyone selling hardware)

Most people don’t pay for a tv license for their tv, do they think people will pay it for their computer? Let the fools do it, no one will pay it anyway. It’s probably unconstitutional too.

Why now? SABC must just accept that the tv licence concept worked years ago not now. SA should introduce tv sets without tuners so one can by it without having a tv licence.

😂😂😂

Just... No

This is crazy, what a joke 😂😂😂. They looking for loose change in between the seats of the couch.

Next , you have a nice view out of your window then you need a license for that window

What really 😆 🤣 😂 😹

wtaf. Can't they get it into their thick sculls that the way to get people to pay is to produce better content, not the tripe they serve up at the moment.

😂😂😂😂

This failed entity MUST close it's doors!Next it wants for cellphones?

Hilarious 😀🤣 all the plans ANC make to steal more money.

then laptops n cell phones microwaves lol

Whahahahahahaha

Desperation 🤣

I can't watch anything without spectacles, so I imagine they'll also need a TV license next...

After a hellish day of moving in heatwave i needed a good laugh

badakiwe
