TV license

A TV license ? you may ask what this is? I did the same when I tried to buy a TV today. Apparently SABC which is the public boradcasting channel for South Africa charges all people who own a TVor want to buy one a 250 Rand fee (per year). This goes into supporting the public broadcasting system? Not a bad idea I suppose, it sounded much more shady when they first told me.

Anyhow so now I have to go get an ID and then apply for the license. It will take a few days but oh well... I must admit this is the first time I have been surprised here. I am sure it will not be the last however :)

More on this later...
