We remain committed to improving our value-added benefits and creating platforms on which we can show gratitude to our customers for being part of our family.

The satellite service has increased its offering to the public as the heat from new players in the African market continues to increase.

The channels will be available to all subscribers from the 7th to the 21st of March and then only to specific commited users according to the DStv website.
