MultiChoice is dropping the subscription fee for its Showmax subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service by half in Kenya because of the Covid-19 novel coronavirus pandemic with users who will effectively be paying 50% less to get access in the East African country.
With a national lockdown in effect in Kenya, Showmax has slashed subscription fees in Kenya. Showmax subscribers in South Africa and Nigeria still pay the same with no price decrease that has been announced.
In Kenya consumers who use the M-Pesa payment option will now pay Sh2 250 (R386) for a 3-month subscription but get access to Showmax for 6 months - double the period.
Consumers who subscribe to Showmax for 2 months at Sh1 500 (R257.33) will get another third additional month's viewing for free. Consumers who watch Showmax on their mobile phones will pay half of the monthly Showmax subscription fee.
