Showmax and Capitec comment on collaboration
Marc Jury, Showmax's CEO, expressed his pride in seeing the two companies join forces to make entertainment more affordable and accessible.
While Capitec's Group Executive for Strategic Initiatives, Henk Lourens, commented:
"Our clients will have access to entertainment from less than R1 a day, and this is only the start of a very exciting journey with much more disruption to come."
Mzansi shares the excitement
App users in Sinemivuyo's comment section wondered how to participate and shared their interest in the discount.
A grateful @k_urve said:
"Now I'm getting my own Showmax, thank you. I've been leeching for years."
@sa_exotics8 shared their opinion and responded to what the media personality said at the beginning of his video:
"Netflix is not worrying as long as Showmax is not international."
@gillthe1 jokingly told online users:
"They want to offer Capitec customers something to do while standing in those long ATM queues."
@thabanigeraldz made a suggestion for Showmax:
"They should fix this thing of watching live sports on your mobile."
A possible FNB user, @dimpho022, said:
"FNB should see what other banks are doing for their people."
