Soon you could be paying a licencing fee to watch TV on your phone.
If thought paying for a TV licence was a lot the SABC is trying to bill you even more.
South Africa has gone into complete shock today at SABC CEO James Aguma told parliament that the SABC wants the Broadcasting Act changed to include more viewing devices so that more people need a SABC TV licence, for computers, cellphones and tablets.
This comes after the SABC has experienced a number of business hiccups and its interim board has called for a corporate clean up.
