The SABC's plan to monetise TelkomONE

[Geoff.D]

Telkom and the SABC are both state owned.

BS! Telkom is not a pure state owned entity.

No state owned companies have ever made money. What makes them think that they will start now.

Telkom just declared a profit again. It is one of the ONLY partly state owned entities to have for the most part survived the worst of the ANC driven corruption.

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.

By your own admission, you have NEVER looked at the SABC on my cell phone, only on DSTV. There is plenty of real high-quality overseas content on SABC, albeit maybe a little on the old side.

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.

If you want to comment get your facts right and stop deluding yourself. I suggest you review THIS post to see what your own bias is doing to your objectivity.

Ah cute, another African streaming service with zero interesting content. Seems they like throwing money away.

The Zen of the ANC - throw good money away
