“Okay, cool, at least I won’t be paying for both DStv and Rain at the same time this month."
Nkulu added:
“South Africa is becoming a bush country under our trusted Thuma Mina leadership.”

“Time for SABC Sport to shine, but they will disappoint us as always.”
MptoT asked:
“Why is it always the case with Supersport Football regarding soccer but no issues regarding rugby and cricket? Is it because multichoice doesn’t care for our sport? But goes out of their way when it comes to their sport?”
BENZO was angry.
“This is madness. We were fed the useless European qualifiers year in and year out, but we can’t even watch our own.”
Jason Cjhauke demanded to know:
“What is the point of having DS if they can’t show us AFCON? They did not even show us the FIFA Club World Cup.”
