Scrap TV licence fees in South Africa – Outa

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa) has called for the scrapping of TV licences, arguing this funding model for the SABC has failed.

This formed part of Outa’s feedback on the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies’ Draft White Paper on Audio and Audiovisual Content Services Policy.

Where do I send my donation money too?

I would pay OUTA my TV license fees

brilliant idea OUTA has,
unfortunately they are the lone tiny voice of reason is a Ocean of incompetence, corruption and nepotism.

if only they would join a political party and throw its weight behind them.
hopefully not the EFF :laugh:

How strange that the State went from bungling the digital-terrestrial transmission migration to hunting for TV Licence fees for streaming devices.
probably the tenda fell through, or got lost somewhere in the politicians desk.
or as usual, their simply too bumbling to do anything right.

Is OUTA going to be just as successful in scrapping Tv licenses like they scrapped etolls?

Asking for a friend? :cautious:

Had etolls been scrapped? I thought it was still in effect, just not policed (court cases) yet?

SABC
19 radio stations​
~4 TV Stations - SABC1,2,3 SABC4(Mafikeng), SABC5(CT), SABC Africa SABC News​
These are all "commercial" in that they run many adverts with most of their revenue coming from advertising.​
and yet SABC can't make a profit​

eMedia Holdings
~8 TV Stations - ENCA, e.TV, eMovies, eMovies Extra, eToons, eReality, eRewind, OpenNews​
A radio channel y-FM​
Primedia
~5 stations 702, CapeTalk, Kaya FM, 947, KFM​

eMedia & Primedia both make good profits and don't ask for taxpayer money

WTF is wrong with SABC?

Considering that OUTA never introduced eTollies and that it is a Scamral thing backed by the cANCer party and enforced by government (not that there is a difference between those two), your critique of OUTA seems misplaced.

OUTA can push the EFFoff party off a cliff if they want, I would support that ideology.

YES!...

Although we all know it's never gonna happen.

Also, SABC fees is a legacy of apartheid yet government is ok with it.
