Showmax Pro false advertising - Dakar Rally

[jacquesafro]

Signed up to Showmax pro as I see they are advertising that they are live streaming the Dakar Rally event:

Showmax | Streaming Movies, Series & Premier League for Africa

Stream exclusive African Originals, international series, movies, and Premier League matches. Unmatched streaming experience for Africa.

www.showmax.com

Under FAQ they list the Dakar Rally under Motorsport live streaming just to find that they don't live stream the dakar.
Still trying to get a refund. Live chat is being absolutely useless.

Did you remember to pay your SABC license?

They refused to refund me. Definitely reporting them to ICASA and ARB for what it is worth. Why are SA companies making a point of being trash.

This is the way. Minial effort if any but quick to take money...

There's at least a few who still is decent like cisp

I wonder if there is someone who broadcast this the whole day. All the logistics, big area to cover. Listen for hours to those boring speeches. But I would love them to make a daily 1 hour time slot.

How did you pay? If via a card do a charge back / dispute with your bank.

Please let us know of the outcome of your complaint.

Why do they still call it the Dakar if it hasn’t been in Africa for about 16 years now?

Don't hold you breath too long ikaka (icasa) still and was an toothless entity esp. if they are motivated otherwise. They and the ISPA imho should be classed grey.

Maybe similarly to the Cape Town Cycle Tour still being referred to as the "Argus" even though it's been many years that it's not been sponsored by the Cape Argus newspaper.
