The department said that the current licence was limited to television, but should also include other platforms where people consumed content.

CAPE TOWN - The SABC and the Department of Communications want TV licences expanded to also cover other platforms, including streaming services like Netflix.

WTF - money for doing nothing. Another money sucking waste of time.

Oops so sorry so those who pay need to pay more so that the masses don’t have to pay because they can’t or won’t collect their fees. What a wonderful business model. Yip another state owned business that should be sold off or closed down.

Is die mense fokken mal

ANC work overtime planning on how to steal money from poor people

Khokhelani amaTV licenses bafethu njengoba ebeseshilo uhulumeni 🤣

Abanyi perhaps

What is SABC ?

Mara Tablet is a tablet not TV

Mxm abame kancane labo ngama movie abhorayo

Bayahlanya manje SABCtoo SABCNews akahambe ayoshona nje ngesipikili😬

Totally rediculous. Will any person with a computer or phone now have to have a tv license. This is going from the rediculous to the stark raving mad. The ANC just needs to pay back the stolen billions and get the criminals in jail.

Sabc must charge Multichoice and Netflix since we pay them. Haow

Thire problem will not stop

Communism. More theft!

Good luck with that one.

Government is v good at finding innovative ways to suck you financially dry.. they must stick this idea where the sun don’t shine

SABC must stop focusing on tv licenses. Think out of the box. Beat DSTV in their own game

More shit from the idiot looters voetsekancfriday VoetsekSABC

Babatyiwe even phones?

🙃🙃🙃🙃

Very soon South Africa will be a country for middle class and those who are richer. We fast going to a country that is enjoyed by the elite . Where having water, electricity, better health services , better education , will be a privilege rather than a constitutional rights.

They won't succeed because there's VAT charge on those products already.

Leaking bucket

Then they need to pay for our data

SABCNews & ICASA_org can go suck my balls

Baphambene

Lol

Lol not gonna happen

SABC does not own this spectrum. It's unethical business practice to add more costs on what they want.

privatize SABC or close it down. it has the worst crap on it and spewing, supporting the ANC lies. a dog can learn more from sniffing shit than watching SABC

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂 have they recovered the lost millions yet? Kahle bo!!!

Next, they will want to charge me for the large screen display in my car. They can go f uck themselves.

Does the SABC understand this? GO. TO . HELL!!!!

A sign of desperation and failure!

Are they crazy?/

Don't forget our Fridges too

SABC is bored xerm

lol

LIVE ROBBERY!

Hahaha... They want to charge people for phones? That would also mean laptops and even fridges because everything has a screen you can use for watching stuff

🙃

Lol, So now will need a TV license to buy a smartphone?

So they can loot the money

One pays for service delivery. SABC doesnt not deliver a service that I use or am I interested in using. So... no

Madness. We already pay for wi-fi and monthly fees for Netflix and our data. Rather go search for missing millions, don't come ask to contribute

Tsek

Bangazosinxilela apha! Thyini thiza!

I'd rather cancel everything once.

Shame, is there no more money to loot😂😂😂😂😂

Banyile

Can SABC chill a little bit, and focus on its corruption allegations before milking the masses

Rubbish they didn't know that technology is moving when there were busy looting and hiring friends

SABC news presenter ’fired’ while on airThe SABC appointed Palesa Chubisi permanently without following and adhering to recruitment procedures and prescripts that were applicable at the time. She was preferred and appointed ahead of other suitably qualified and experience candidates. 👀👀 Seems like bad news are continuing at the public broadcaster Haaaai it will be unfortunate if her 'land' was expropriated for the now defunct position. It's sad
