Millions of South Africans have given the middle finger to paying their TV Licences – so government is finding a way to force them.
The South African Broadcasting Corporation continues to fight an uphill battle to get South Africans to pay their TV Licences, with the government working on a new model to counter the culture of non-payment.
The SABC said it had a database of 10.5 million licence holders in 2022. The latest figures from the department indicate that the rate may have climbed even higher . The broadcaster’s annual performance plan, released in May 2022, showed the new ‘household’ levy would mean that South Africans who do not have a television set will still be required to contribute.
However, the new levy isn’t yet past the proposal stage and legislative changes need to be processed before it can be a reality.
