SABC TV licence debt collectors possibly breaking the law

A possible breach of ICASA regulations by SABC TV licence debt collectors has raised concerns about the collection process. It is alleged that a collector spoofed its number to appear as though it was coming from a mobile phone number, which is prohibited for call centres operating from a fixed location. This could lead to significant fines, up to R3 million, and highlights the need for stricter oversight to protect consumers from potentially deceptive practices.
