 It is filmed kinda weirdly. Maybe fake but to make a point that we all know is worth making.

"Can't pay for something you never signed up for". Merely, saying that my TV could pick it up isn't justification.

 Exactly, if that was the case they would require a license to buy/sell the tv in the first place.

 In ZA they do but I still don't agree with the mechanism. The state broadcaster here did not homestead every channel/band so they can't make a claim to it like that.

Yet, in ZA to buy a TV you must actually have a license. It is bizarre.

Not required for a radio though, I believe.

All a scam

 That is what my parents tell me at least. I have never bought a television. Nor would I pay a license for one 😂😂, given the context here.

SABC is still around, yes.... 😂

The gift that keeps on giving...
