In the email, Multichoice acknowledges the potential impact on customers and cites rising business operation costs as the driving force behind the price adjustment.
Their commitment to delivering high-quality content and service remains, according to the statement.
The email reads,
Dear valued customer, price adjustment on DStv and GOtv packages. On Wednesday, 1 May 2024 we will adjust our prices across all our packages on DStv and GOtv.
We understand the impact this change may have on you – our valued customer, but the rise in the cost of business operations, has led us to make this difficult decision.
