It is a way of life, prices increase; it is a certainty next to taxes and death. DStv has been criticised in the past because of their large increases, and has announced their new prices. Only a couple of packages will be exempt from the increases.
Prices will increase on April 1st, and COO Mark Rayner sent out a mail to customers where he says “œYour loyalty and support is what keeps MultiChoice going. It makes us passionate about bringing you the very best in entertainment and innovative new products and services“ and added “œThank you again for your support during the past year. We look forward to keeping you and your family entertained.“
Increases range between 5% and 6.5%, with Premium subscribers hit worst. Check out all increases below.
