Legal way to stop paying your SABC TV licence without getting rid of your TV

• Households in South Africa can legally stop paying for a TV licence by rendering their TV incapable of receiving traditional terrestrial broadcasting services' signals.
• The process involves having a reputable TV technician remove the TV's tuner and submitting a written notice along with proof of removal to the SABC, accompanied by a R300 fee.
• However, the exemption is not permanent and requires annual renewal, with the SABC sending inspectors to confirm compliance, and penalties apply if the TV's receiving capability is restored.
