SABC letter demands TV licences for computer monitors

The SABC has started demanding that South Africans pay TV licence fees for computer monitors, even if they are not receiving broadcast signals on these devices.

As has been the case for the past few years, the annual e-mailed TV Licence Renewal Notice letter explains that broadcasting legislation requires that owners of a TV set must have a valid (paid-up) TV licence.

Lol, next they're going say you need a license for your eyes and ears because they have the ability to see and hear it.

They are trolling.

So, companies need to purchase TV Licenses for their WFH employees' monitors too?

*I refuse to read an article about the SABC. Loool.

Speaking under correction, but didn't they impose a heavy tax on PC Monitors years ago?

For some reason I was only thinking about my WFH scenario. There is a much bigger picture at play, as you mention.

Damn, might as well read the article while I'm at it.

I read it, they're desperate and OUTA is correct.

Have they ever been intelligent?

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

Making Monitors require a TV licence, is a joke, do they think, that this is going to up their TV licence collection rate. Poor idiots.
