SABC Alerts Public to Impostors Posing as TV Licence Inspectors

The broadcaster says door-to-door checks are not part of enforcement, with all communication limited to verified channels.

Overview

  • In a statement this week, the SABC said criminals are using the inspector pretext to gain entry to homes to commit robberies.
  • The corporation confirmed it has not appointed any officials to conduct physical inspections of television sets in private households.
  • Members of the public are urged to report anyone claiming to represent the SABC at their premises to the police.
  • The SABC cautioned against sharing personal information or making payments outside its recognised systems.
  • The broadcaster also flagged a fake letter about deferred payments to producers, noting it was not authored by Maijang Mpherwane and urging reliance on official platforms.
