Show Notes

Parliaments Portfolio Committee on Communications and Digital Technologies is set to investigate Canal+s plan to shut down its streaming service Showmax, which holds a significant market share in South Africa and has been a key platform for African films and series. Lawmakers worry about the impact on the creative sector and fear it could open the door to more foreign content, weakening South Africas cultural voice. The committee has briefings and an oversight trip planned to address these concerns.
