One thing the pandemic has taught us is to stream. Of course, it comes with time and costs. The former, we can always have, but the latter is a little tricky. Well, you might have some relief! Popular streaming service, Showmax has revealed that its mobile subscribers in Africa are about to pay up to 20% less each month.
This means that you’ll have some little more to save, as you enjoy all the entertainment you love. You and I can agree that we all love price cuts.
According to the MultiChoice Group CEO for Connected Video, Yolisa Phahle, this change will be appreciated by the mobile customers. “We have our most exciting slate of Showmax Originals this year and look forward to more of our subscribers enjoying our proudly African stories”

What’s the difference between Showmax and Showmax Pro?
As always, the mobile versions of Showmax and Showmax Pro are perfect for anyone who only watches on a mobile device. Standard plans, on the other hand, are ideal for Showmax subscribers who use more than one device to watch, like a laptop or computer, or a smart TV, or for families who want to stream two shows concurrently.
Showmax Pro bundles the existing Showmax entertainment offering with music channels, news, and live sports streaming from SuperSport. Live sport featured on Showmax Pro includes all Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and PSL games.
There is also a wide range of live sports events including athletics, professional boxing, and the world’s biggest marathons. Additionally, the Pro plan includes a selection of live news channels, such as Euronews, Africanews, among others.
