South Africa-based Showmax Fighting off Netflix in Africa | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Showmax, a South-Africa based streaming platform, has overtaken Netflix to become the streaming platform with the most subscribers in the African continent. Showmax relies on local content and football to keep Netflix at bay. But how long can the African…

As much as i support Africa, I must admit showmax pays peanuts to producers.
The response from Biden is comedy😂’how dare he say that’?
Am in Gambia, how can I sign up??
Just started to hate this channel…This is definitely not Africa….Niyanya ngoku
At least Multichoice got something right. I just wish they'd do the same for DSTV.
Why do they always show the worst views in Africa? There are some amazing views in Africa, beautiful architecture too, but none is shown on the MSM
They have blocked people from diaspora watching certain shows. Which does not make sense. You are paying. Silly really
Amazing
We are Global Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯 Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!👸🏿🤴🏿
As a Nigerian its my duty to hate south Africa. I will never use that crap .. Netflix all the way
3 months after cancelling, they simply TOOK a months subscription out of my bank account & then ignored me til I gave up. THEY SUCK.
Good news
It's a waste of money
Showmax is shit
I will not look at the subscriber numbers because it is included with some DStv package as standard. Rather check how many logins or views it generates
Utter bull. Showmax is free to dstv subscribers. They only subscribe for the sport
Showmax = the best
As a south african with showmax,netflix ,Disney plus and amazom prime subscriptions i can confidently say showmax is way better than netflix and amazon prime
Showmax has the latest movies like 2023 Tom Cruise mission impossible just watched it yesterday you have to wait for years with Netflix
Why is anyone surprised that a platform that is preexisting and has a customer base can outperform Netflix?
This feature doesn't tell the viewers how many sudscribe to both,was there a survey done,in SA households have Dstv and Netflix together with other streaming services, depending on ones preference, some also subscribe and unsubscribe depending on what is showing for the month or a certain period.presently the EPL is on ,that is why the showmax subscription base has increased
it's simple Showmax doesn't do that woke nonsense Netflix constantly pushes with repeated increases in subscription prices
Who owns Showmax?
Lies 😂😂😂 I am in South Africa I don't even watch Showmax. No1 in my circle watches it
This is only because of the monopoly on the English premier league.
It's owned by a billionaire who funded apartheid. Imagine if you did your research 😂😂😂
Useless covered story. Ask Africans to tell African stories. All these insert about Africa….they are all lies
A great move. We keep encroaching💪
This means nothing as long as the end of the day these things end up being owned by the same people, theres a group in this world that acquires everything and makes it its own. I'll only be proud when I see the people owning the companies that produce what they consume. ITS NOT A WIN FOR AFRICA.
Koreans are taking over our entertainment using Netflix.
Showmax new app trashhhhh
The new app trashhhh Showmax sucks
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ban Netflix from Africa. We dont need it.
Netflix should take the woke shit to America and leave us alone!
But to be clear, Showmax is popular in Anglophone Africa as its programming is mostly in English. So it is not surprising that it is popular in the likes of South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and the likes. In Francophone Africa, it is still Canal+
This is GREAT! How can we stream Showmax in the UK?
I support Showmax from Kenya. Atleast they don't force the unnatural agenda in their content. They can reduce on the women drinking content though.
Netflix has been forcing the six coloured agenda in it's contents, so un-African
But is it owned by an African?
With no account crackdowns as well!
The world's fourth-largest streaming service is Tencent Video, with over 120 million subscribers.
Hooray Showmax BUT DSTV still sucks!!
Those are DStv subscribers.
DStv account is DStv, GOtv, DStv Stream and Showmax.
All these services say show up as Showmax on the Metadata.
No way Showmax is more popular than Netflix, at least not in South Africa.
In the rest of Africa Showmax may have a head start where Netflix is not available.
