DStv Announce Price Adjustments

MultiChoice has announced its annual DStv price adjustments that will kick in on 1 April 2024.

Prices will increase by between 3.1% and 7.8% across DStv’s satellite pay-TV portfolio. DStv’s streaming-only packages will remain unchanged.

Stats SA announced in January that South Africa’s average inflation for 2023 was 6%.

DStv Access will see the largest price increase, but MultiChoice South Africa CEO Marc Jury said the entry-level package will also get a big upgrade to its sports offering.

“We have renewed La Liga, and we are in the process of finalising a long-term extension with them,” he said.

Jury said DStv Access’s sports offerings would include ESPN, La Liga, SuperSport Variety 4, and SuperSport Blitz.

DStv Compact Plus will also see a substantial increase of 6.9%.

Jury said Compact Plus subscribers would soon get a revamped set of channels that includes the best of Showmax’s original content.
