At a time when many Zimbabweans are grappling with unrelenting price increases for goods and services being charged in local currency, a DStv bill might have been the last thing they would expect to go up, considering it is paid for in foreign currency.
However, from June 1 DStv subscribers will have to fork out an extra dollar or two when paying for their various packages as the company will be revising its prices upwards.
In a statement MultiChoice stated that the prevailing 14.5 percent VAT charge in Zimbabwe will be incorporated in DStv subscription charges.
This is the first adjustment of DStv monthly subscription fees in four years.
The statement says, “In appreciation of the tough times in Zimbabwe, the business is adding value to its customers at a time when they need it. DStv added more channels to its line-up, brought more of the latest movies to BoxOffice and acquired the best award-winning sport documentaries from around the globe through SuperSport. Furthermore, news channels have been made widely accessible for credible information alongside edutainment and daily workouts designed by fitness experts.
“As a way of thanking our valued customers for their continuous support during this difficult time, DStv launched the ‘We’ve Got You’ campaign whereby active and disconnected customers automatically get upgraded to the higher package at no extra cost once they pay for their current package.”
