Multichoice Zambia has announced a 16 percent reduction in DSTV subscription fees across all packages effective September 1.

Company managing director Ngoza Matakala announced the price reduction at a media briefing in Lusaka this morning, saying the move is a clear demonstration that the pay TV provider is the real deal.

“True to our commitment to put our customers at the heart of everything we do, it is my pleasure to announce today a decrease on DSTV subscription across all packages effective 1st September 2017. The price decreases will be as follows: DSTV Premium subscription will reduce by 3.4 percent and will now be at K790, Compact Plus subscription will reduce by 16 per cent and will now be at K450, Compact subscription will reduce by six per cent and will now be at K300, Family subscription will now reduce by two per cent and will now be at K200 and Access subscription will reduce by seven per cent and will be at a price of K100,” Matakala stated.

“This is a clear demonstration that as a business, we stick to our customer first promise. This is what we mean when we say to you that with DSTV, you get the real deal, we are the real deal. You get wholesome quality content that you can only find on DSTV and nowhere else. Let me end by assuring you that DSTV is the best option for digital migration in Zambia. It operates on the best digital technology and comes with only the best in both local and international content.”

She said the drop in prices was meant to provide relief to customers given the tough economic conditions prevailing in the country and also to reward them for their loyalty and support.

“Multichoice continually reviews its packages and price due to the dynamic market conditions with interest of our customers at heart and with one objective in mind; to delight customers by constantly offering them more value. We are delivering more value to our customers by giving them access to amazing local and international content at a price that they can afford,” said Matakala.

“The business recognizes that we are living in tough economic times and want to reward customers for their on-going loyalty and support. In April 2016, we had a price drop on all packages in order to provide relief to our customers in our current economic conditions. Remember that with GOTV and DSTV, you are already digital and you do not need to buy another decoder because we are here to stay.”
