Anyone who possesses, uses, or rents a television set or any device capable of receiving a broadcast signal in South Africa is legally required to have a valid TV license. This applies regardless of whether the TV is used to watch SABC channels, used for gaming, or not used at all.

Yes, a TV license is a license to possess a TV, not watch SABC. The SABC just happens to benefit from it.
 
Well, anybody stupid enough to believe the SABC has any funds for refunding people probably deserve to get scammed.
 
It's just better not to have a TV licence.

1. No scams.
2 .No spam
3. No threats.
4. Save R265 on tax.
