Limpopo TV founded by Larry Matlala is a non-profit provincial entertainment channel featuring content such as news, lifestyle and drama series that speaks to the people of Limpopo.
The channel launched amidst a pandemic with several original productions underway as well as a ton of baggage regarding availability. At the moment, one would need to tinker with the settings of their decoder to view it in the public channel area.
Getting back to the present, there's some new info that was shared by the channel on their social pages regarding the very topic mentioned earlier availability and I think it's best people who don't rely on these platforms for such things learn about this new info as well.
According to them, MultiChoice has a new business model and community based channels don't fall under criteria so they won't be adding anymore community channels. The question remains on what fate awaits the remaining community stations.

Since last year, those channels excluding (Tshwane TV and GauTV) have been working on actual content by that I mean local dramas and not repeats from free-to-air broadcasters like SABC. Is it possible maybe these won't always be a complete waste for viewers?
That section has always been degraded and lurked under every other channel's shadow for its low commissions and presentation.
StarSat had Limpopo TV in the testing area for a couple of years and around the official launch it vanished into thin year. According to the channel, the platform didn't meet their end of the bargain so they had to pull out for the time being.
Despite the outcomes, Limpopo TV is pulling through as they've started teasing their potential rollout through Go Digital SA decoders (or SABC's DTT) likely through the public channel settings as seen with DStv.
