Multichoice Announce Immediate Withdrawal Of DStv Services From Malawi

MultiChoice Africa Holdings B.V (MAH) has announced the immediate withdrawal of its DStv services from Malawi. The decision follows an injunction issued by the Lilongwe High Court in a dispute between MultiChoice Malawi (MCM) and the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) over the adjustment of DStv tariffs.

In a statement seen by Pindula News, MAH regretfully informed DStv subscribers in Malawi of the withdrawal of services. MCM said:

IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL OF DSTV SERVICES IN MALAWI 

MultiChoice Africa Holdings B.V (MAH) regrettably notifies DStv subscribers of its withdrawal of services from Malawi with immediate effect. This follows the injunction issued by the High Court in Lilongwe in a matter between MultiChoice Malawi (MCM) and the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) prohibiting an adjustment to the DStv tariffs.

MCM does not offer the DStv service to the public and therefore cannot set or adjust tariffs for this service, a point repeatedly made to MACRA. As a result, the order handed down to MCM is incapable of being implemented by them but carries with it grave consequences for the directors and management of MultiChoice Malawi, including imprisonment. MAH given the impact on its supplier (MCM) and an increasingly adverse regulatory environment is therefore left with no option but to terminate the DStv service indefinitely.

Customers are hereby, and with immediate effect, requested to halt payment for the DStv service. Customers who have already paid their new subscription for the DStv service will have those services honored until the current 30 day viewing cycle ends on or before 10 September 2023. From Wednesday, 9 August 2023, no new subscriptions or reconnections will be accepted.
