SABC spent R2.5 million on tactic to get South Africans to pay for TV licences

South Africa's public broadcaster wants to gamify its free streaming service to help collect TV licence fees.

More proof they're just stuck in the past.

The SABC is looking at the issue incorrectly, people will pay when it's actually a service they want, I currently would not watch the SABC channels even if the service was free.

What a waste of taxpayer monies! Sies man! Have a service people want and sell it to those people!!`

they are offering you a discount of 50% if you pay the bill, but I am waiting for that 100% off offer, and never contact me again. I see they sold the list again, a new set of scammers are sending the same useless threats, HF can go suck something bitter, even if the SMS's are different form of begging.

Exactly! The post office and the SABC are the same picture.

I want to use the SABC but show good content.
I want to use the Post Office to send packages more cheaply, but then they need to be reliable.

Basically, if these two entities did not become terrible, they
would still be making money and be loved by the people.
