SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT!!! StarSat Has Been Operating Illegally In South Africa After Failing To Renew Its License By July 2023

A few months ago, it was reported that StarSat should have shut down in South Africa from September 18th which was 2 days ago but didn't as they continued maintaining an active presence in the market. At the time, ICASA didn't give a reason on the sudden dismissal of Chinese based pay-tv service formerly known as TopTV.

TopTV was launched back in 2010 by On Digital Media as a rival to MultiChoice's DStv with its own lineup of premium entertainment and sports. Overtime, it had been flooded with debt that it that was on the verge of bankruptcy until StarTimes opted to acquire the company which was met with a lot of controversy.

First for its plan to introduce several pornographic content to some of its consumers and another for the scaling back of local content. As some consumers have seen, StarSat relies in ST Rise to build up it's local offering although it isn't as big of a contender as Mzansi Magic and other local offering are provincial brands.

Now the pay-tv service is set for closure after failing to renew license by July 2023 which was over a year ago and opted to apply for a new broadcasting license by November of that year. In general, StarSat has been operating illegally several employees were unaware of these events and some outlets still continued supplying their decoders.

Their exit from the South African market means that DStv would basically be the only pay-tv service in South Africa while eMedia Investments' Openview platform has competition from PremiumFree and Sentech's DTT. This would also put a damper to the local content conceived on the platform.

After Openview had removed Deen TV this was revived on StarSat as Deen Channel same goes for One Freestate Televisual which expanded to MultiChoice's DStv and only to be shuttered after less than 3 months. StarSat's exit from this market means that these brands have no other means of survival with other brands like Soweto TV viewable on DStv.

Zee Zonke To Rollout New Marathi Drama Titled Impilo Yo Dade In October

Impilo Yo Dade follows the story of two sisters who have not met each other for 20 years. Elder sister Uma lives happily with her in-laws Kokan, and younger sister Sandhya has been living in London for the past 20 years with her daughter. An incident that happened in their lives 20 years ago, separated them forever. 

But it is said that no matter what, a few bonds never fade away. Even today, not a day goes by when Uma and Sandhya do not miss each other. Raghunath Khot, Uma's husband, is a prominent man in the village. Uma broke all ties with her younger sister by promising her husband, Raghunathrao.

Sandhya's daughter will come to India from London to solve the issues between the two sisters. Will Raghunath, who values Swadeshi and opposes foreign things, accept Sandhya's daughter? 

Impilo Yo Dade premiered on Zee Marathi from 23 August 2023 as Saara Kahi Tichyasathi with over 350 having been filmed so far. Based on the series Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke (Young Dreams), it starred Khushboo Tawde as Uma Raghunath Khot, Ashok Shinde as Raghunath Khot and Dakshata Joil as Nishigandha Raghunath Khot.

Impilo Yo Dade will air daily at 19:00 from Wednesday 2 October replacing Uthandolweni. Similar to This Is Fate and Unfortunate Love, Impilo Yo Dade serves as an ongoing series which will be a channel first for Zee Zonke consumers.
