I am not paying my TV licence – so the SABC offered me a Samsung Galaxy S9



I do not pay my TV licence and I do not plan to.

Well, unless I go buy a new TV and no one will lend me theirs.

The SABC and its debt collectors must have the best SMS package in town, however, because they have not given up on me yet.

Every day for the past few months, I get an SMS from some agency stating I must pay my TV licence.

Sometimes the messages are kind and encouraging, along the lines of “You can pay quick and easily here. Go on, we know you can do it, we believe in you”.

Other times they are more threatening. “You have not paid and we told you to pay and this is your last warning, so pay now.”

The amounts I owe have increased, too.

The standard licence fee is R265 per year, but the amount I owed last month was R344.50.

And for those of you who think you can block the senders’ numbers to stop receiving the SMS reminders to pay, good luck.

Win a Galaxy S9
As of the end of July 2018, the amount I owe on my TV licence is now R477, but the SABC has a plan to keep me from balking at the inflated amount – a prize.

The latest SMS I received from the SABC, its debt collectors, or whoever sends them these days, stated that if I paid my TV licence, I could win a Samsung Galaxy S9.

MR [Name], #MBD #SamsungS9Promo. To enter our exciting competition, sign up for a debit order and settle your TV Licence arrears of R477.00 in July, OR split the payment over July and August 2018. Samsung S9 to be WON! MBD tel (011)560-4633. Ref: [Number]. Ts&Cs apply

While the offer has not tempted me to pay, we must at least recognise that they picked a cool smartphone as a temptation.

When it comes time to buy a new TV, or I start using any of the SABC’s services, I will pay my TV licence.

Until then, some other lucky customer can take the S9 home.
 
I'm bringing the conversation from the art of Vape to this thread @IVapesDaNicotine woman should be treated equally the same as men and I agree 100% with that but there is a line of respect that has to be drawn when conversing with a woman vs a man.

One does not speak in the same manner as you do to your men mates as you do to the female counterpart and it's got nothing to do with equality its purely a matter of respect.

Females and males act and think differently with females being more on the emotional side so yes words do affend them more.

Would you appreciate it if another man spoke in the manner you did to @Caramia to your Mother ? I don't think so.

I don't want to turn this into a debate of who's write or wrong because end of day everybody deserves to be be respected.

Oh wow this may turn very nasty very soon.....

My side is i dont really care who says what to me...... and i treat everyone the same. The only difference in life is i generally swear less around women and I’m not so direct.

If i had R1 for every snow flake(male only) i come across daily i could buy a happy meal once in a while

Hahahaha no not at all bud, I'm not looking for a argument that was my 1c piece its said and done no need to go on and on .

We are all from different aspects of life and think and act differently in certain situations.

It's easy in today's day and age of the web to get caught up in argument but like you I let alot of stuff slide and troop on.

Lifes to short and stressful for one to worry about petty stuff and we have some awesome peeps on ecigssa, there are some peeps who I had issues with and once getting to know them they actually pretty cool people.

I try to treat all, irrespective of what makes them different than me, with the same level of respect.

Now, please sell that P67 - it is haunting me!

@Faiyaz Cheulkar,
I have a burning question which relates to you saying the following:
That is not how a unicorns horn should look like.
My question is how do you know what a unicorn horn looks like :D

For all we know that is a correct and factual representation of the unicorn :D
