If the millions of cricket-mad South Africans who cannot afford a pay TV subscription thought it was a horrible mistake that was not to be repeated when the Proteas' horrendous T20 World Cup opening match against Australia was not shown on free-to-air TV at the weekend, they were wrong.
South Africans will not be able to watch Kagiso Rabada and the Proteas at the ongoing T20 World Cup because the national public broadcaster does not have rights to the tournament.If the millions of cricket-mad South Africans who cannot afford a pay TV subscription thought it was a horrible mistake that was not to be repeated when the Proteas’ horrendous T20 World Cup opening match against Australia was not shown on free-to-air TV at the weekend, they were wrong.
“All the rights were sold by right holders, including the free-to-air rights, to SuperSport, a pay TV service.”“The public broadcaster rejected them as the SABC would not then be able to broadcast the matches on its sports channel or on SABC 1, SABC2 and SABC3 via Openview or TelkomONE. "MultiChoice does not believe a term of the offer precluding SABC making the content available to third party competitors with whom it has concluded commercial arrangements is anti-competitive. The offer to the SABC is fully compliant with the Sport Broadcasting Services Regulations issued by the Independent Communications Authority of SA .”
“However, we would like to alert the public that all games are available on the Radio 2000, RSG , Umhlobo Wenene and SABC Sport Social Media pages.”
