South African pay-TV leader MultiChoice has confirmed adjustments to its DStv subscription packages in Zimbabwe, set to take effect from 1 June 2025.
In a public notice released on Monday, MultiChoice Zimbabwe stated that while some bouquets will see slight price increases ranging between US$1 and US$2 others will remain at their current rates. This revision reflects the company’s ongoing efforts to balance rising operational costs and economic challenges in the region.
Key Changes to DStv Packages
Subscribers to DStv Premium, the top-tier package, can breathe easy as the price remains unchanged at US$75 per month. Similarly, the Lite bouquet will stay at US$9.
However, other packages will see modest increases:
Compact Plus rises by US$1 to US$46
Family increases by US$1 to US$21
Access goes up by US$1 to US$16
No Changes for Select Bouquets & Add-Ons
The following packages and services will retain their current pricing:
– Indian Standalone (Premium) US$39
– Indian Add-on US$25
– Portuguese Standalone US$45
– Portuguese Add-on US$25
– HD PVR Service US$13
While MultiChoice has not explicitly outlined the reasons for these selective adjustments, past increases have been attributed to **inflation, currency fluctuations, and rising content acquisition costs**.
Subscribers seeking more details on their specific packages or payment options are advised to visit the DStv website or contact customer care for further assistance.
