South Africa’s biggest private broadcaster, DStv, has seen its local subscriber growth slow substantially over the past five years.
Therefore, we tracked the growth or decline of subscribers across its three main customer segments — Premium, Mid-market, and Mass market — between the last days of September in each year. However, from September 2022 to September 2023, Mid-market subscribers declined by 1%, while overall subscribers dropped by 5% — two firsts for the broadcaster when using its 90-day active metric.Over the past few years, MultiChoice has repeatedly altered its subscriber reporting metrics, making it difficult to compare recent performance with its older history of relatively strong growth.
Another significant alteration was switching to a 90-day active subscriber reporting period rather than reporting the absolute number of subscribers by the end of the half-year or full-year. Most of its competitors — including Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Netflix — offer substantially more affordable and flexible packages than DStv.
Being keenly aware that most South Africans access the Internet through a smartphone, they also offer cheap mobile-only subscriptions.

South Africa: ANC-Aligned Cosatu Confirms It Is an Enemy of Unemployed South AfricansPress Release - A statement released yesterday by the ANC proxies in labour federation COSATU is a timely reminder that the ANC alliance - composed of the ANC, COSATU and the SACP - is the primary enemy of the 10 million unemployed people in South Africa. What a nonsensical article. It does not even quote COSATU’s statement nor give a chance for COSATU to comment. If this is an op then your platform should say so and indicate who is the author. Otherwise this platform is little better than graffiti on a bus station.
