Cancelling your TV license through SABC's official channels is almost impossible

On one of the calls, I waited for over 10 minutes in silence, waiting for assistance that never came.

Reminds me,

Wasn't Telkom more than an hour a few years ago?
 
I do have a TV and a license from way way back when but don't have any receiver any more, it's purely for IP stuff/console.

I decided not to pay mine which was due last month ... but it feels like it is almost worth doing to stop getting the (almost) daily begging spam and SMS's that I'm now flooded with saying I must pay or else etc.

What can happen if I don't? They say interest etc. but ... how many people must not be paying, loads !!!

You can only cancel your tv licence if it is up to date
Fill in the form and send it off, they will cancel it.

Same as scrapping a car, you can only scrap it if the licences are up to date, I learnt this the hard way other day and forked out R9500 in arrears last week in order to scrap a car I havent seen in over a decade.

A car or a bike?

We know your poor friend has your bike.
 
so your dammed if you do get a TV license, and then if you dont, you can never buy a TV brand new from a shop?
so what left for you to do if you want to avoid getting a TV license? Buy "illegally" on Gumtree?

I mean so many illegal things on Gumtree one can buy, I guess what difference does "illegal" TV's make.
 
I was also pleasantly surprised last week when I canceled my Fiancee's tv license, as she moved in with me. Took me longer to get the form stamped, than for the lady who helped me on email to cancel it.
 
When you have a terrorist government that still builds toilets in the veld and have places that have had no water for 2 years, you truly can't expect to cancel something that makes them money LOL
 
Oh and let me add, I did a cancelation in 1999 and had to fax details. All was well. I went overseas and then came back in 2001. Then 2003 started to hound me. Last time was about 2 years ago when I told them I owe them NOTHING. They can go to hell... they must simply do their jobs. Which, inherently, seems to be generally impossible
