Sentech launched Freevision Play, the platform powering Afree TV, in June 2024. The platform was designed to provide South African residents with free access to select local TV and radio channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All the streaming services you can watch for free in South Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mother-and-son-streaming-tablet.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfree TV has joined a growing list of free streaming services available to South African residents. In addition to Freevision Play, there are at least 11 other streaming services available for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The expansion of free streaming services in South Africa has enabled residents without access to TV to access important content on other devices, provided they have an Internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those looking for free local content have numerous options to choose from, including AfriforumTV, select channels on DStv Stream, eVOD, SABC+, Viu, or cAfrica.tv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AfriforumTV has angled its core programming towards Afrikaans reality TV. However, it has also broadcast news, school sports, documentaries, lifestyle shows, and general entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While limited in free channels, MultiChoice-owned DStv Stream has allowed users to watch some channels without an active DStv subscription. These include Al Jazeera, eNCA, and Channel O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EMedia’s eVOD was one of the first free streaming services to launch in South Africa and offered various soaps and dubbed Telenovelas that are broadcast on E-tv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free users also have access to eVOD original movies and several older Hollywood films, and can upgrade to eVOD Premium to access newer movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Africa’s public broadcaster has relaunched its free streaming service, SABC+, at least twice. Viewers can access live local TV channels and catch-up episodes of local soaps and series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based in Hong Kong and launched locally in 2019, Viu has offered viewers limited SABC content, as well as older Hollywood movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in 2024, cAfrica.tv is another ad-supported free streaming service available to South African viewers. It describes itself as a hub for African and international streaming content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also claimed to offer the largest collection of African and international entertainment, including music, movies, TV shows, documentaries, podcasts, and geographical content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are five free streaming services available to viewers in South Africa that don’t focus on local content. These include Rlaxx TV, RugbyPass TV, Twitch, and YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\nService<\/th> Content<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Afree TV<\/strong><\/td>Live and on-demand TV and radio content from the African continent.<\/td><\/tr> AfriforumTV<\/strong><\/td>Including news, school sports, documentaries, lifestyle, Afrikaans reality TV, and general entertainment.<\/td><\/tr> cAfrica.tv<\/strong><\/td>African and international content, including on-demand video.<\/td><\/tr> DStv Stream<\/strong><\/td>Several free channels, including Al Jazeera, eNCA, and Channel O.<\/td><\/tr> eVOD<\/strong><\/td>Various soaps and dubbed Telenovelas aired on E-tv, as well as on-demand eVOD Original movies and several older Hollywood movies.<\/td><\/tr> FreeVision Play<\/strong><\/td>Local radio and TV channels<\/td><\/tr> Rlaxx TV<\/strong><\/td>A range of international channels, such as Comedy Dynamics, Thrill One, and Gusto TV, as well as channels more specific to the region.<\/td><\/tr> RugbyPass TV<\/strong><\/td>On-demand rugby-related content<\/td><\/tr> SABC+<\/strong><\/td>Live local TV channels broadcast on free-to-air television, as well as catch-up episodes of popular soaps and TV shows.<\/td><\/tr> Twitch<\/strong><\/td>User-created live streams covering a vast range of topics, including gaming, music, fitness, etc.<\/td><\/tr> Viu<\/strong><\/td>Limited range of SABC content, older Hollywood hits, and international content from Turkey, Korea, Scandinavia, and other markets.<\/td><\/tr> YouTube<\/strong><\/td>Large catalogue of user-generated content covering a vast range of topics<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Afree TV has joined a growing list of free-to-view streaming services in South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":647911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[105283,88200,71342,55614,95477,96857,2760],"class_list":["post-647891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-broadcasting","tag-afree-tv","tag-dstv-stream","tag-evod","tag-free-streaming","tag-freevision-play","tag-sabc-4","tag-sentech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=647891"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":654226,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647891\/revisions\/654226"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/647911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
