No DStv price hikes for Zimbabwe

DStv subscribers in the rest of Africa and Zimbabwe will not see a price hike when MultiChoice increases the subscription fees of packages in South Africa on 1 April.

Unless there are unexpected economic shocks impacting African countries, MultiChoice Africa said there will be no price increase in 2016.

Naspers, MultiChoice's parent company, said it will provide the necessary financial support to MultiChoice Africa.

"We are in a position to do this because most of the Naspers group business (65% of revenue) is outside Africa, where times are better and our businesses are in good shape," said Naspers.

"As a group, we believe in the longer-term potential of our markets in Africa."
