Sports minister Gayton McKenzie has set his sights on MultiChoice’s exclusive sports broadcasting rights.
MultiChoice’s DStv, through SuperSport, has monopolised live sports in South Africa for several years, but sports minister Gayton McKenzie wants it to end.” against the broadcasters if they are unable to reach a resolution that would allow all South Africans to watch their national sports teams.
“I’m not going to be an enabler of the majority of our people not being able to watch the national rugby team or soccer team.” “I intend to fully use that legislation. We are meeting with them. As we say we come in peace, but if they want war, they will get war.”McKenzie’s words highlight one of the major concerns surrounding MultiChoice’s exclusive broadcasting rights for various sporting events: the unaffordability of its DStv packages for many South Africans.
