South Africa, April 1, 2023 - The most developed country in Sub-Saharan Africa, should finally switch off its analogue TV signal, 8 years after the original deadline fixed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

The transition to digital would offer a wider range of content to consumers and also free up bandwidth for other services, especially mobile broadband.
