Africa's largest pay-TV provider (DStv). Signed a R553 million deal with the SABC in July 2013. The Zondo Commission scrutinised whether MultiChoice used the deal to influence government digital migration policy to protect its pay-TV monopoly. Paid ANN7 R141 million per year plus R25 million once-off, keeping the underperforming Gupta channel financially viable. Admitted "mistakes were made in the lobbying process" but denied corruption.
