  • South African government has extended the analogue switch-off deadline to March 2025, aiming to ensure indigent households receive set-top boxes and access digital broadcasting amidst costly delays.

The South African government has postponed the deadline for the switch-off of analogue television signals to March 2025, as announced by Communications and Digital Technologies Minister Mondli Gungubele. This decision extends the previous deadline set for December 31, 2024, to ensure a smoother transition to digital broadcasting. The delay aims to address the challenges faced by the public in transitioning to digital TV, particularly in ensuring that all citizens, especially those in remote and underprivileged areas, have access to set-top boxes necessary for receiving digital signals. The government's move is part of a broader effort to manage the digital migration process effectively, avoiding disruptions in television services and ensuring that the public is adequately prepared for the change.
