Unless studios change their affiliation, there will always be a place for cinemas with certain big budget items, e.g. latest Spider-man, which was only released to cinemas and thus will only be available on streaming services about 3-6 months (maybe a year) after the cinema run is finished (I know with release to DVD, etc. it was always a case of 6 months after the cinema run was done, not after first release at cinema, once it's run its course).Cinema not going down without a fight
''Ster-Kinekor and Nu Metro might be facing an uphill battle, but the cinema operators maintain they still have plenty to offer South Africans.
The increasing number of streaming services becoming available in South Africa might signify the start of a transition period for how we consume entertainment.
Like much of the rest of the world, South Africans are attending cinemas less, suggesting a slow conversion from cinema being the preferred family movie-night destination to online video streaming services.''
Cinema not going down without a fight
Movie theatres in South Africa and around the world are facing big challenges, but Ster-Kinekor and Nu Metro say they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Unlike in the Western Cape, where not a single camera has been calibrated and certified for years. They still send out courtesy letters despite not being able to respond when their charges are contested. Therefore, unless the uncle comes and knocks on the door, you know they are just pushing their luck.The Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) has not been issuing fines for speeding infringements caught on any of its fixed or manually-operated cameras for almost a year.
This admission came from the JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla in an interview with eNCA.
Fihla was responding to a tweet from YFM digital manager Hilton Tarrant, who said there were no active speed cameras in the City of Joburg because the tender hadn’t been awarded yet.
Tarrant included a screenshot of a tender published by the city for a service provider of enforcement and crash management systems.
Fihla confirmed that all of the speed cameras in the metro were currently inactive.
This was because the city’s contract with its previous service provider, Syntell, ended on 31 May 2021, and the tender for the new contract is only expected to be finalised in about three months.
Don’t worry about Joburg speed cameras — None are working
None of the fixed or handheld speed cameras used by JMPD have been working for almost a year.
Unless you have received and signed for a formal summons, there is no need to respond to those curtesy letters or SMS's. It is futile to try and do so in any case.

Alas, the majority of people who vote for them will never be able to read such articles and so it will always be lost on them how much their precious government is screwing them over.Old news, and we all know it, yet Rob Tiffin reduced it to writing ... something we all need to learn how to do, or ... suffer the consequences of our (lack of) actions.

I'm not so sure anymore ... I'm seeing a shift, it's difficult to hide the truth when the evidence is now so blatantly obvious in our surrounds
There definitely is a shift. But if you think about the poor who cannot afford data and when they do have it, they're not going to be surfing news sites, so they stick to what they hear on the radio and that does not always have such discussions, it only has the news which details the fact that there is loadshedding. But a shift is happening. Like a river which carves itself out a new way to get to its destination.I'm not so sure anymore ...
