MultiChoice Zimbabwe is doing another big price hike blaming "rising operating costs" and confirmed on Tuesday that it's increasing prices from 1 August, giving DStv Zimbabwe subscribers just a week's notification.
MultiChoice Zimbabwe on Tuesday issued a statement saying "Please note that MultiChoice will implement a price adjustment on its DStv packages effective 1 August 2024".
In a message to DStv Zimbabwe subscribers, MultiChoice blamed rising operating costs, saying "We have tried our best to keep our expenses low but our operating cost continue to rise. We have thus reviewed our subscription fees with effect from 1 August 2024".
MultiChoice Zimbabwe bills DStv subscribers in the struggling Southern African country in American dollar as has done so for a number of years due to the worthless local currency.
Zimbabwe introduced the Zimbabwean ZiG that in April replaced the Zimbabwean dollar.
While the subscription fees for DStv Premium, DStv Compact Plus remain unchanged, DStv Compact is increased from $29 to $30, and increased for DStv Family from $19 to $20.
DStv Access is increased from $13 to $15. DStv Lite is increased from $8 to $9.
