SABC getting rid of TV licences

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) wants to do away with its TV licence funding model amid high levels of non-payment, contributing to its financial challenges.

Discussions are ongoing between the broadcaster and the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies on what funding model will replace the TV licences, with several options on the table.

So we're not paying now. How will a new model change our mindset and get us to start paying for something that we are not gonna use? eToll 2.0?
 
One or two questions needs to be asked what they won't look at, the mismanagement which now too little to late and lastly the quality and level of programs, TV series and movies and so forth.....
 
I remember when their call center agents wanted to play games when I tried to cancel. So yeah they need to scratch it.
 
There is zero chance in hell they are doing away with anything. The money coming in will not be given up so easily. And any new funding model, i.e. theft has some processes to go through

Spare a thought for the old id book holders. Those poor folks don't know what is real or not. Every 2 weeks its "good news for old ids", then "bad news for old ids", almost 2 year straight.

there's one posted 2 hours ago...
 
This.

According to an April report from the Auditor-General of South Africa, 73% of unpaid licence numbers were linked to government entities and officials.

Nuff said.
 
Old news. They've been wanting to for years now...
