Deputy communication minister Pinky Kekana wants video-on-demand users to start paying for TV licences to benefit SABC.The government has proposed plans that would see people who don't have TV sets but enjoy video on demand entertainment services via mobile devices paying for TV licences.
The state uses funds from TV licences to bankroll the SABC, which last year reported a net loss of almost half a billion rand. Kekana said collecting TV licence fees from non-TV users would help boost the state-owned entity's struggling balance sheet.
Disgusting!
The last kick of a drying horse
Making me pay license fees to stream content for which I already pay expensive data and subscription fees is shameless theft.
Definition of madness= SABC Desperation yodwa le!!!
More money to loot
SABC in current state is complete rubbish and must reform and align with expectations for digital disruption instead of raping us in daylight with these nonsensical TV licenses. There are so many people willing to help, including myself on their transformation.
Yes SABCPortal, the licences are as archaic as your business model. Drop the failed licence and launch your own pay service.
Their drunk by failer.
Izaza ncaa emntaneni 😎
Smart phones and tablets are not TVs we already paying ICASA We know the benefit from ama data costs and etc Do your work stop been lazy since 2009 we waiting for so called degital box Its 2020
😂😂😂😂 First start with those who looted money from SABC Introduce Digital decorders have talks with Netflix and other providers into intergrading some content to the degital decorders. Then spread to mobile platforms etc. Stop been lazy and work. Trace those not paying.
So every cellphone user, pc, tablet etc to pay TV licence, how mad is this idea? There are roughly 96 million cellphone in South African, so they looking to exploit us to generate income for mahala. I do not see how this idea of a law will pass constitutional master.
Lol hahahaha😆

Useless stealing cadres! VoetsekANC

Can SABC get the TV license subsription from Dstv as an enabler. Dstv should not have subscribers who do not pay SABC TV licenses. Dstv is untouchable and feared by the government
Habo.... abanyi perhaps? So we will be paying tv licenses for our laptops and tablets 😂😂😂 Sies🚮🚮🚮
