MultiChoice Zimbabwe has announced price increases for its
DStv packages as of June 1.
The DStv Lite package will increase from US$7 to US$8 while
the Access package will increase from US$11 to US$13. Family package will increase
from US$17 to US$19, Compact package from US$25 to US$29, Compact Plus from
US$40 to US$45, Premium from US$65 to US$75, HD PVR Premium from US$76 to
US$88, XtraView access fee from US$11 to US$13 and Indian package from US$32 to
US$37.
This price adjustment comes at a time the broadcast
satellite service is seemingly running out of content, evidenced by the repeats
of its programming with some popular dramas being put on hold due to the
Covid-19 induced lockdown.
In a statement, MultiChoice Zimbabwe said: “Effective 1
June, 2020, the prevailing 14,5 percent VAT charge in Zimbabwe will be
incorporated in DStv subscriptions charges.
“Accordingly, DStv monthly subscription fees will be
adjusted for the first time in four years.
They added that they value has been added as they have
increased their channels and added latest movies to BoxOffice for their
customer’s viewing.
“In appreciation of the tough times in Zimbabwe, the
business is adding value to its customers at a time when they need it. DStv added
more channels to its line-up, brought more of the latest movies to BoxOffice
and acquired the best award-winning documentaries from around the globe through
SuperSport.”
Meanwhile, more than 100 000 South Africans have signed an
online petition demanding that DStv drops its prices as they do not have fresh
content to offer as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. South Africans had their
DStv prices hiked last month. Chronicle
