You Black south Africans do much worst things so Shut da fvck up. Always avoiding responsibilities.

Like running away from our country to be parasites in other countries

JuanDeDios:
Yes, they call it "muti killings". It's not as common as it is in Nigeria though. But ritual is a thing across sub-Saharan Africa. I know a guy who used to live in Gabon. One day, some tribespeople captured him along with others and locked them up. Turned out their king died and they needed to bury people with him. He was lucky he escaped.

You cnt see those people are not black

Ruke1991:
South African blacks also do human rituals? Why is evil haunting the black race?

Does black race look like that to you?

eastOFwest:
Las las they would leave Nigeria. No be by force to have services like dstv in Nigeria if people cannot afford it. NTA are you hearing?👂🏿

Any way canal plus bought Multichoice maybe they will change prices

Why do some of you guys love passing wrong information? When did South Africa remove 3 zeros from their currency? Before Ghana removed removed 4 zeros, the exchange rate was close to $/10,000 cedis, so they had to remove 4 zeros.

We don't need to remove zeros from the naira.

Here is a list of countries worldwide that have removed zeros from their currency:
1. Zimbabwe
2. Ghana
3. Angola
4. Sudan
5. Democratic Republic of Congo
6. Argentina
7. Brazil
8. Bolivia
9. Peru
10. Venezuela
11. Turkey
12. Russia
13. Ukraine
14. Kazakhstan
15. Georgia
16. Yugoslavia (former)
17. Romania
18. Poland
19. North Korea
20. China (historically, during currency reform)

Inspirer1:
you are comparing their subscriptions in Nigeria with that of South Africa, that's the subject of comparison.

This thing that Multichoice makes more money in Nigeria is a lie

Inspirer1:
what's the minimum wage in South Africa?? Start from there please.

Anyone who wants to do comparison of prices in Nigeria and elsewhere should always start from the Minimum wage in Nigeria and that of the country they want to compare us with.

Then divide the minimum wage in that country by the price of that item, and do same for Nigeria minimum wage divided by the price in Nigeria, you can now compare how many of those items can their minimum wage get and how many can Nigeria minimum wage get in order to know which is better.

Let me help you.
South Africa minimum wage = 27.58 rands per hour
For a 8 hour/ day and 22 days per month job = 27.58 X 8 X 22 = 4854.08 rands
Change to Naira using your Exchange rate above = 4864.08 X 85 = #412, 596.8
Hope you can see their minimum wage, do I need to proceed?

But Dstv still need to buy content in Dollars.

nairalanda1:
1. DSTV has introduced pay per week in Kenya and Uganda...you pay for a week, and then you can renew when you want...so that may be an option for the market

2. DSTV cannot do pay as you watch for Nigeria...simply because it would in essence be difficult for them to maintain it financially....and the tech does not exist in Nigeria.

3. At the end, DSTV Is a company, and the content it sells is expensive. It is like Nigerians want it cheap or something.

Dstv doesn’t have pay per view anywhere in Africa

Firebox123:
so Ghana and South Africa have gotten to the point right 👍

Remember Ghana and South Africa currency is the same with Nigeria currency they deceive their citizen by removing the three zero in their currency

Na everywhere hard

South Africa have never denominate their currency. Is Zambia and Ghana who denominated their currency by removing zeros

Undocumented foreigners crossing to South Africa via beit bridge in Zimbabwe

The copy and paste did not come out good

As of **2025**, DStv subscription prices in **Nigeria and South Africa** have seen some adjustments due to inflation, currency fluctuations, and MultiChoice's pricing strategies. Below is an updated comparison of **DStv package prices in Nigeria vs. South Africa, converted to Naira (NGN)** for easy comparison.

---

### **DStv Package Prices (2025)**
| **Package** | **Nigeria (NGN)** | **South Africa (ZAR)** | **ZAR → NGN (Converted)*** |
|-------------------|------------------|-----------------------|---------------------------|
| **Premium** | ₦**34,000** | **R1,049 =~₦**89,200** (R1 = ₦85) |
| **Compact+** | ₦**22,500** | **R749= ~₦**63,700** |
| **Compact** | ₦**14,800** | **R529 = ~₦**45,000** |
| **Confam** | ₦**8,900** | **R369= |~₦**31,400** |
| **Yanga** | ₦**5,200** | **R229= |~₦**19,500** |
| **Padi** | ₦**3,500** | **R129= ~₦**11,000** |

*(Exchange rate used: **1 ZAR ≈ ₦85**, based on 2025 forex trends)*

---

### **Key Observations (2025 Update)**
1. **DStv is still cheaper in Nigeria** than in South Africa when converted to Naira.
- Example: **Premium** costs **₦34,000** in Nigeria but **~₦89,200** in South Africa.
2. **Price Increases in Both Countries**:
- Nigeria saw a **~15% increase** (e.g., Premium was ₦29,500 in 2024, now ₦34,000).
- South Africa also increased prices (e.g., Premium was R899, now R1,049).
3. **Exchange Rate Impact**: The Naira has weakened further against the Rand, making SA packages even more expensive in Naira terms.

### **Why Is DStv Cheaper in Nigeria?**
- **Purchasing Power**: MultiChoice adjusts pricing based on local affordability.
- **Competition**: Pressure from **IPTV, Showmax, and streaming services** keeps prices competitive in Nigeria.
- **Regulatory Differences**: Taxes and operational costs differ between the two markets.

### **Which Country Gets Better Value?**
- **South Africa** sometimes gets **extra channels or features** (like DStv Internet).
- **Nigeria** remains the **more affordable option**, but with fewer perks.

sonofthunder:
But we have been told that DStv offers a form of PPV in south Africa.... Is that also false.

Also that DSTV subs are significantly cheaper there.

No there is no such ass pay per view and I pay R1000 for premium subscription with extra view which is around 86000 Naira

zhike:
Nigerians are not interested in CAF champions league, but they support Uefa champions league.

Is this a proof that Nigerians are brainwashed and have inferior mindset towards whites people.

Who ever bewitched Nigeria with Europe and America worshipping messed them up. Do you know some would even buy frozen pizza in Europe. Is insane that the whole country’s dream is to jabba to a better country instead of developing their country including soccer. I think they have given up with anything that says Nigeria and they think Africa as a whole is messed up like them

stacyadams:
not inferiority complex..Africa refused to develop in all sectors

actually if you are following the current CAF league and take time to watch South Africa, North Africa and Tanzania league you will see the development and the quality of the leagues. The truth is Africans football have developed and Nigerians have been left behind

EmekaA125:
Peace remains the best approach.

Problem is if peace does not serve into the agenda of the western world especially USA, you become their enemy for choosing peace. The world is not about peace is about the western world way or they label you the enemy of world order

Jeezuzpick:
How is SA a busybody?

Ramaphosa is obviously on an assignment and he played his part beautifully.

He didn't jump into a matter that is not his concern, the players asked him to do what he's doing.

Putin called him beforehand.

Zelenskyy came visiting to discuss.

He briefed Trump afterwards.

This doesn't sound like a busybody's doings to me.

I'm sure it's not lost on us both that our very own Baba was not asked to play this honourable role.

Actually Trump is the one who called not the other way around

JOHANNESBURG, April 24 (Reuters) - South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said in a post on social media platform X on Thursday that he had spoken to U.S. President Donald Trump on the Ukraine war and the need to foster good bilateral relations.
"We both agreed that the war should be brought to an end as soon as possible to stop further unnecessary deaths... [and] to meet soon to address various matters regarding U.S.-South Africa relations," Ramaphosa said.

zhike:
Caf champions league semi final last games are happening tomorrow in Cairo.

Sundowns vs Al ahly
Piramids vs Piramids

The first leg in South Africa all games ended with zero zero results.

Who will win this cup.

Everyone in South Africa and Egypt is talking about this games.

Nigerians are busy with European football, your boring them with African stuff.

Dougad:
He must be desperate if he's in South Africa. They have nothing of importance to offer him.

South Africa already spoke to Russian as their friends . There is a deal on the table that will be facilitated through South Africa if Ukraine is on board. The Aim is to cut Trump’s Ego. If the war is ended by Trump he will feel more powerful and is is done by South Africa Trump won’t be happy with it.

brain54:
Botswana and Namibia...

Two small countries that seem to be doing well for themselves.

Judging from not just this statistics here alone.

Two of my favorite African countries I would love to visit too!

They have death sentences for drug dealers and scammers there.

Parrot69:
As expected especially the one in South Africa. I wonder how KingCold, IronGalaxy, TMKSOUTH, JaceBlaze and all the Janja-weed red eye Nayope smoking South-Slaverica will deal with their white masters.
I can't wait to have my crush Samantha124 come to me here in Ogbomosho

South Africa have an embassy and a consulate. They’re only closing a consulate. He also did in other European countries

Nigerians are busy celebrating uefa results, they dnt care about African football. Mentality of international refugees

Starzo:
Wetin concern us?

Nothing concern us with south africa

Is Caf Champions league, oh I forgot you only interested in UEFA. Always having a mentality of international refugees

joceey:
Good that's nice development.

Look at the atmosphere in South Africa Soweto during the pirates game

See the attached results

CAC CHAMPIONS RESULTS
Quarterfinal, first-leg matches
Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 Esperance de Tunis
Al Ahly 1-0 Al Hilal
MC Alger 0-1 Orlando Pirates
Pyramids FC 4-1 ASFAR.

South African and Egyptian teams secured victories in the first-leg matches of the CAF Champions League quarterfinals played across Africa on Tuesday, with Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, Al Ahly and Pyramids FC emerging triumphant.

Bafana Bafana will reportedly not be sanctioned for their blunder of selecting Teboho Mokoena in last week’s World Cup qualifier against Lesotho.

Hugo Broos’ men won the game 2-0 to move to the top of Group C. However, Mokoena’s selection for the game threatened to derail the team’s campaign. Mokoena received a yellow card in their opening match against Benin and another in the following match against Zimbabwe. According to FIFA’s regulations, a player who accumulates two yellow cards in separate matches must serve a one-match suspension. Mokoena should not have featured in the Lesotho encounter.

However, the blunder was not picked up by Lesotho, and they missed the 24-hour deadline to report the matter to the match commissioner, CAF or FIFA. According to TimesLive, disaster has bee averted and SAFA officials can breath a sigh of relief.

According to the same TimesLive report, officials at SAFA were in a panic when it was discovered that they had fielded an ineligible player for the clash at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.

Despite this, the Nigerian Football Federation have called on FIFA to dock three points from South Africa for the error. The Lesotho Football Association (LFA) have also confirmed that they have sent a query to FIFA

OriOko88:
Wat re u smoking? How will SA point deduction affect Nigeria points.

The 3 points will be awarded to Lesotho and they will move second

For all the evil and filth we have taken to South Africa. It still puzzles me if Nigeria is so good why so many illigal foreigners from Nigeria in South Africa. No pride at all. You won’t find a South African overstaying or roaming the streets of any country.

Only if they can know that South Africa is taking over the presidency of G20 after this. South Africa will be the one sending invitations to shit hole like Nigeria
