Will, just roll out the Smart DNS/VPN, and the hell with the idiots.
They cannot prescribe what I can watch or how I invest my money and time.
They are seriously delusional.

Does the DoC even have the rights to do this? SABC doing it was company forcing it on itself, but doing it to streaming services would mean government is reaching into the private sector for something that does not have to do with safety.

Wonder if they know many foreign movies are shot in SA employing a lot of extras and local crew... We already have such a dismally small selection of movies for SA on Netflix. Instead of dragging everyone else down to our level, why don't we notch up our production and output so that other countries want to watch our movies? Instead we restrict, how does that grow our export potential....

Back to the dark art of torrenting I go.......
Why torrent, just add a Smart DNS/VPN, and business as usual, with now full US/UK content. Apparently UK has more/better content than US, currently.

How much local content do you think they own? Netflix is going to have to buy it from somewhere.

Netflix didn't comment as far as I can tell...
They assumed Netflix would bankroll local production.
You are correct my bad, so it's just sensationalism.

The other side of the coin is Netflix has 1813 shows and 3854 movies this would mean if they were to keep their catalogue size they'll need to have 544 local shows and 1075 local movies .
I wonder even if the total number of locsl TV shows and local movies that were ever produced matches those number's.
I think government trying to force Netflix to buy the SABCs back catalogue and get into a production partnership with the SABC and add a new line to the Gravy Train Express
