MultiChoice Africa has embarked on a programme meant to combat illegal DSTV operations in southern Africa and will carry out visits to unregistered operators claiming to be DSTV agents in Malawi.

MultiChoice Malawi spokesman, Chimwemwe Nyirenda
The statement issued by Multichoice said there are a number of agents who claim to have authorized status and are promoting the illegal provision of South African accounts to users in Malawi.
“In terms of international copyright laws, MultiChoice South Africa can only provide its services to people resident in South Africa due to channels being authorized for reception in South Africa only.
“All operators providing DSTV connections and support services in Malawi are bound by the law to ensure that DSTV services in Malawi are those that are legitimately provided for in this country, and they may not connect Malawians to DSTV services in South Africa,” reads the statement.
According to the MultiChoice, bogus operators have been identified from visible offers who give Malawians, South African DSTV accounts which make their actions illegal and can result in criminal actions against both the service provider and customers taking up the offers.
“Illegal agents carry no guarantee of service quality and there is no means of enforcing adherence to DSTV standards. It is clear that a number of bogus operators are promoting access by Malawians to DSTV services sourced in South Africa, an act that is illegal and in flagrant violation of international copyrights regulations,” further reads the statement.
The statement says the exercise will help to crackdown and eliminate bogus operators who are putting customers at risk of poor quality and exposing them to possible prosecution for infringement of international copyright laws.

Gentlemen can you please sell me the south Africa decorder. I stop watching this stupid MW DSTV because i could not manage the prices and it was better for me to use that money for my children fees. But with price being mentioned and i know I can manage both very well. stop listening to this nyathenda
Empty threats. In fact this so called marketer needs to be fired for failing to bring sales to his organisation and brainwashing his bosses that the only solution is by intimidation. Blind bosses too. Multichoice Malawi is nothing but a bunch of robbers. Can you justify why your service is 100% more than the SA price? You have just done yourself a disfavour as more eyes have now been opened and are looking for these “bogus” installers. Wait and see a mass exodus …… that advert was wrong
Multi choice, you’re too blind to see that the poor quality service you are talking about are generally those provided by you than the outside services. To hell, am going to start selling the decorders
The problem is SADC free trade ,the solution is to reduce your prices and start charging malawians in kwacha that u Will have more customer’s
Y not be dealing with multichoice SA for beaming there signal to Malawi. I think that cab help but only if u (multichoice MW) can afford to create ur own signel…then making silly noise to the venerable.
Kkkkk! I like the argument: “trying to reclaim lost customers by intimidation”. These were really multichoice malawi customers in the first place and they could have found out what wrong they did to their customers instead of intimidation.
