If I have an oven that looks almost like a TV, do I have to pay SABC TV license fees for it? Asking for a friend.

She also has a robot vacuum cleaner (like a Roomba) that she suspects sometimes watches TV, and a cat who unashamedly does it all the time. She also has a garden spade that she uses to bury the cat litter. Does she need a SABC TV license for any of these too, and if so, is there a discount for lots of licenses?

Sounds like it came straight from that NOfap reddit nut house.
On a side note if they could tax watching porn somehow the sabc would have more money then they'd know what to do with
I didn't know such a reddit existed lol.
In any case, may very well have been. But I'm not a noFap witness,won't be trying to convert anyone haha

Depends, do any of those show a picture of the food, the room, the scratchpost, or the grass?

SABC has now discovered previously untapped looting potential. Innovative thinking. Sadly, they don’t realise that if they stop stealing, maybe more people will pay.

Oh please just stop. How many times are you going to publish a variation on the same information from the same parliamentary meeting, MyBB? Is it all about headlines and website traffic?
Yet here you are time and time again

This demonstrate how high level corruption can expand and grow if you do not have zero tolerance for it.
Its digitally so easy to embed new costs into systems, 35 years ago mentioning this you were laughed at, now everybody is paying the senseless price, in the end nature wil step in due to the inability to world with money and resources, and how nature do it you may not like.
Mankind has never experience the following in its history ever:
1-High Level corruption Worldwide digitally embedded, driven with pushing multiple Abstract Narratives 24/7.
2-The abstract digital era and it's evil sides like easy channelling, forget about inflation, or old types of fraud/corruption.
3-Population numbers at 7 Billion plus, lack of leadersip Social-Intelligence levels to control it, in fact it seems the best human brains are lacking here, as the chaotic last 35 years had proven.
4-Not ever in history were ordinary people conned out of a decent living ever in the history of the planet at this scale, it became so top heavy and parasitic, soon no monetary system will be able to cope, no matter how much money you dump into that bottomless hole.
5-If the ordinary good person/individual want a future for its children, a new type of understanding is required, unlike ever before.

What have you done about this seeing you have zero tolerance?
