Telkom and the SABC are both state owned. No state owned companies have ever made money. What makes them think that they will start now. The SABC should be privatized and the TelkomONE plan has to be subscribed to in order to generate cash. Can they possible compete with Netflix and Showmax Amazon Prime Vide and others? Never! Also....how can they tax mobile handsets? We, the public choose what to look at on our phones not the SABC. I have never looked at the SABC on my cellphone only DSTV. Besides, the SABC have never, and I repeat, never had any good overseas content to offer. What makes them think they will get it now? I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney etc. would pay any tax in lieu of the latest double taxation involved (read My Broadband today) If prices go up it will hurt the end user who has limited cash anyway to spend on entertainment. Forget it Government, get you tax elsewhere and stop wasting time and money! Always trying to get cash from the public unfairly. Note: The SABC need another bailout (R1.5 bn) which will come from where? Now Mr SABC etc., think about where it will come from and then think again.
