Another R7bn needed for digital TV

I always wonder if these people that throw around these big numbers, even realise how much money that is .... but with needing another R800mil for an awareness campaign(which probably costs over R1bn in total) .... how can that be justified?? over R1bn just to inform the masses?? really!! .... are they hiring people to go door to door to spread the word??
 
Between the requirements of the Department of Communications (DoC), SABC, and Sentech, the budget shortfall for South Africa’s digital migration project is R7-billion.

So somebody failed horribly at maths then?
 
Our flats have a shared analogue aerial and an analogue connection in each apartment.

Would the new system require the ' decoder ' in each apartment or could there be one for the entire complex ?
 
From R230-million now up to R7bn? Sheesh, e-tollematics have learly been applied to the budget here. Can't we just say "Um no, thanks, that's all right I don't really need that right now" or something?
 
If they need money so badly, why not try stop corruption and sell those expensive politician and entourage cars that you do not need?
 
Does everyone get a free small tv and decoder for that price?
