Blow for DStv from Vodacom and Amazon

[Luis]

DStv alternative in South Africa that people can access for free

DStv suffered a blow in June when Vodacom announced a deal with Amazon, which gives many of its contract subscribers free access to Amazon Prime and world-class video streaming.

Amazon launched its Prime membership programme in South Africa on 3 June 2026, offering members numerous benefits.

A 3 month free trail is hardly anything to rave about and hardly a blow..

Alternative is a very broad term, where is the live sport or live TV/news?

Can't be described as alternative at all

So you are on RED Flexi? (cause that is the one with three months, not the others)

Luckily whatever data contract I am on I am getting a year free, this is after having had a year free with Prime Video

Exactly! So how is this a blow to DSTV?

Well, if I can watch sport on Prime for R59 p.m. as opposed to paying dstv R699/R799 p.m., guess which one I'm dropping.

Glad we cleared that one up.
