Whether you want to watch live sports, reality shows, or the latest telenovela, MultiChoice offers a great selection of channels via their DStv satellite television service to suit everyone’s needs. However, Multichoice has announced price increases for its packages for 2022. From April 1, Premium subscribers will pay 1.21% or R10 more per month. There are similar adjustments for the following:
- Family (+4.75% or R14)
- Compact Plus (+1.86% or R10)
- Compact (+4.89% or R20)
- Access (+4.35% or R5)
Pricing for Showmax, BoxOffice, Add Movies, and Easyview will not be affected for 2022.
The company has factored in the challenges being encountered by South African consumers. They have tried their best to absorb as much of the increase in the cost of doing business to implement minimal adjustments.
Besides the new prices, customers will continue to receive reward offerings. These include access to specials, customer discounts, competitions, and benefits from Showmax, BoxOffice, and other related products and services.
