Multichoice's DSTV & GOtv annouce new prices for their streaming services

Multichoice has announced a revision in the subscription prices for its popular DSTV and GoTV services.

Starting April 1, viewers will need to adjust their budgets to accommodate the new rates for accessing their favorite television and streaming content.

The adjustment, detailed in a statement released on March 20, comes as a response to the changing economic landscape, with Multichoice citing the 'economic outlook' as the primary driver for the updated pricing structure.

Despite the company's efforts to keep the increases minimal, subscribers across various packages will see a change in their monthly payments.
