DStv is increasing its price across all of its current packages in South Africa. The company will increase some packages by 7.2% while others will go up by only 5%. The most expensive DStv package, its premium service, will go up by R40 while the cheapest offering, the Access service, will increase by R9.
Multichoice also says its ADD Movies add-on already dropped in price last year from R99 to R79 so it won’t be adjusted this year.

“The pressure that consumers are facing due to remnants of the pandemic, as well as the continued rolling blackouts nationwide, has not been lost on us. These nominal adjustments help DStv to ensure that South Africans continue to enjoy the best value and unrivalled access to entertainment, anywhere, anytime, and at the most affordable price”
According to MyBB, Multichoice had “serious conversations” with suppliers in order to keep the price hike low. As a result, the price hike is currently below inflation. DStv did a similar small jump in prices during the covid-19 pandemic back in 2020.
