TV license fees set to be scrapped

Well it makes sense to scrap it since with the DTT switchover, you won't be able to watch TV unless the SABC knows about you and your equipment, and de-scrambles the signal for your set-top box.

Or you could use DSTv without the fscking useless SABC channels.

But I decided to scrap TV License fees 10 years ago. :D:D:D
 
This will save millions in admin and processing.

They should get the money from VAT, since just about everyone watches TV at some point or owns a TV. There is no reason to keep track of individuals.
 
Haven't read the article as yet, I just came to say

YAYYYYYY!!!!.

Now no tv license required for a large lcd screen for pc use ... stupid that they made the vendors do so in the first place when it had no tuner to begin with ...
 
Dear staff writer, this paragraph makes no sense to me:

Bad news for people without TV licenses is that existing TV licenses will remain valid, and therefore payable, until the end of the financial year when the new broadcasting act comes into force. Money owed to the SABC in terms of TV licenses will also remain valid until fully paid up.

I don't have a TV license, and never had one. So how is this bad news for me?
 
about time.
no more banal ads encouraging you to 'do the right thing'
what kind of a business strategy is that?
looks like nyanda is doing his job and using his brain.

Huh? If I don't have a TV license, then it isn't payable, or am I missing something?
 
While I certainly support the scrapping of the direct licence fee tax, this just means the wasteful spending will come via other taxes.

The only acceptable solution is to shut the SABC down.

I think its a case of if you get caught between now and when this ruling takes effect, you will still be liable.
