Only problem is DSTV will also get a bail out from government. Who will grease government palms.... if Dstv is no more...
 
Not sure what this wanker did - don't actually even care - but what sort of content does the guy make? I thought he was a singer.

I don’t see what the issue is.. his an idiot who when his fame was dwindling went controversial to regain traction amongst fringe elements.
 
Though Steve is using social media to highlight his thoughts to gain support (whichever group he wants to appease), nobody has ruled his speech as racism though it was publicly perceived as racism and that is why entities like the SAHRC and Equality Courts exists, and why these things may be argued in a higher court.

Multichoice, by their own stance, ruled Steve’s speech as racism and though they as a private entity have the right what to legally sell to the public, they have entered politics.

Land thieves and what not seems to be okay by them.

I can already see them backtrack on the Ashwin Willemse report, agreeing with the SAHRC, whenever this is happening, but since the SAHRC hearings have been postponed due to reasons unknown maybe they have already settled or entered negotiations.

All I'm saying is, all things must be equal when it comes to race.
 
Sure it's their right to associate with whomever they wish but one would hope they ought to be able to dissociate Steve the Afrikaaner crusader from Steve the entertainer. True, he may be doing to improve his entertainment profile but unless the content they play tries to proselytise it shouldn't matter.

Maybe you should brush up on your grammar before posting anything but you are probably too young to have benefited from proper schooling.

'He's' or 'He is'.

And it is not about whether he is liked or not, it is about the principle, that corporate like this can pressure organization into changing their views and/or policies. Nothing inflammatory is said in the nominated piece and when they did not get 'traction' by revoking the nomination they changed tactic by removing content. You go ahead and enjoy your DSTV content rehash because this is way about your level of intellect ;)

You're expecting MC to be reasonable - MC is only beholden to MC.
 
What's good for the Goose should be good for the Gander, just remember that DSTV - I think they have opened themselves up to a whole lot of future legal/social challenges.

And Zuptas & NATs before that.

Q.Where did MC come from...
A.Naspers aka National Party Press - they were the mouthpiece of that NAT party - well known for their apartheid laws.

Still haven't forgiven MC for the dirty bribery deals with ANN7 to curry favor with Zuma via Guptas.

Has the nerve to correct somebody else's grammar, then continues on to make MANY of his/her own grammatical errors. :laugh::ROFL:

Still don’t why everyone is still so obsessed with the Broederbond. Naspers, the company, today have nothing to do with the Broederbond. There are people living in the past because it suits their narrative.

Your Q&A is in your own mind.

Yes, Multichoice only acted on ANN7 when the pressure mounted. There are numerous other suspicions as well, also an intimate relationship with the government (and SABC).
