TV licence amnesty plan to wipe away billions in debt

It might also help encourage TV households with a mountain of SABC TV licence fee debt to start paying again with a clean slate and for new TV households not captured on the system to come forward and register.

The SABC told Parliament in 2017 that millions of South African TV households owe the SABC billions in rand that it will never be able to recover in real life."Certain grannies have R15 000 owing - R9 000 in licences, R6 000 in penalties. It just doesn't make sense." The SABC is therefore in favour of doing away with a SABC TV licence and for it to be replaced with a new type of general tax in the form of a so-called"media levy" that will cast a much wider net and remove the responsibility from the SABC of having to get TV households to pay a licence fee.

Tv license, etoll,...the power of the powerlessness I bought projector and subscribed to DSTV app...... Under the old administration, SABC should have negotiated that DSTV collects the TV licence under their subscription. Like, for a R350 pm package, R30 goes towards SABC and the balance to MultiChoice. Maybe I'm overthinking this. After all, I'm not a broadcaster, just an Engineer
