Date: November 27, 2012
Person/ institution: ZNBC
Violation/ issue: Other
Mongu residents have questioned
the rationale of making them pay compulsory TV levy when some of them do
not own TV sets despite having electricity in their homes reports the a Zambian
online media “The Zambia Watchdog”.
The paper reports that a Mulambwa resident, Amukusana Aongola, complained
to the Zambia News and Information
Agency (ZANIS) in an interview that it
is not fair for Zambia National Broadcast
Corporation (ZNBC) to make it compulsory for everyone to pay TV levy as long
as one is on Zambia Electricity Supply
Corporation (ZECSO) prepaid metering
regardless of whether one owns a television set or not. Aongola complained that,
ever since ZESCO installed a prepaid meter in his house, ZNBC keeps on charging
him TV levy despite him having no television set in his house. He charged that
when people live in an electrified house
it does not mean that they automatically
own TV sets.
