Chair, hon Majozi,
as South Africans, we also have to take the issue of the survival of the public broadcaster very seriously. For years, the SABC has not been increasing its licensces. If you look at all our areas - and I commend people - even in informal settlements, you see that many have migrated on their own. You see satellite dishes. This means that the person has migrated from analog to digital. Thank you to South Africans.
However, we are also saying that it is paid TV. We are offering free-to-air channels and we can give you six to eleven platforms for free. So, assist the SABC by paying. By paying the licences, we can bring new content into the SABC, so that we don't bring Mopheme and we don't repeat other dramas. We can bring young people into the creative industry to bring new content. [Interjections.] So, payment of licences will be critical.
