Showmax isn't just a local service, it's an international one.

So it thinks you are somewhere else...where it isn't available as per the error message.

Could it be that your subscription/profile in one country does not allow you to use it in another country even if there is Showmax in that country?

Weird as I didn't change any settings yet.
