“We are happy to be resuming services in Malawi and want to assure our customers that they can resume accessing our services as before,” the statement quoted Keabetswe Modimoeng, group executive corporate affairs & stakeholder management, as saying.
Apart from the service resumption, “as a gesture of goodwill’, MultiChoice Africa Holdings provided free access to customers, who had been active at least once within 2023 — from 1st April 2023, and who have an operational DStv decoder, to our premium package for 9 days from December 6-14, 2023.
