The pay-TV operator MultiChoice has closed all of its walk-in branches and service centres in KwaZulu-Natal, as well as in parts of Gauteng, and has also shut down its MultiChoice City campus complex in Randburg as a precaution, due to ongoing unrest and looting in these two South African provinces.

MultiChoice told TVwithThinus on Tuesday that its MultiChoice City complex in Randburg is closed.

DStv subscribers in KwaZulu-Natal and parts of Gauteng can now only be helped online.

"We have closed all branches in the KwaZulu-Natal region and parts of Gauteng," MultiChoice said. "We apologise for the inconvenience caused, however the safety of our customers and employees is imperative. In the interim please use our digital platforms and portals for any queries you may have," MultiChoice said.
