Meanwhile, you can still sign up for #SABCPlus without a TV licence. And SABC Plus is actually good. Catch-up for #SABC shows like Masterchef and Wheel of Fortune.
That just makes no sense to me. So many people don't have access to watch SABC the traditional way even if they wanted to, so they have to rely on #streaming, and SABC Plus lets them do that. But they don't ask for your #TVLicence number to sign up.
So you don't need one to sign up for their own streaming service, but they'd like you to need one to sign up for Netflix? Really?https://techcentral.co.za/may-soon-need-a-tv-licence-netflix-sabc/252237/?utm_source=MastodonAfrica
P.S. I pay my TV licence. Always have. I feel like the spirit of the thing is that if you consume any content created by the SABC (watching their videos, listening to their radio stations, reading their news articles, even following them on social media), then it is good and right and proper that, if you can afford it, you should pay. It's a way of keeping the state broadcaster afloat so that all those poor and marginalised people who CAN'T afford to pay, and for whom the SABC is potentially their only connection to the outside world and their only source of entertainment, still get to enjoy it.
But come on now, SABC. Get your own house in order first. :-D
