Lets see now; the next national election is in 2014 and set top boxes are going cost some money even if they're subsidised which will doubtless upset a certain percentage of the ANC voters. Plus the voters who can't afford to upgrade won't be exposed to party political broadcasts :erm:

600 days to distribute 10 million boxes....


good luck.
