The removal of the Russia Today channel from the DStv viewing package

The Issue

RT is a Russian state-controlled international television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government. It operates pay television or free-to-air channels directed to audiences outside of Russia,

 It is a tool of the greater Russia Propaganda machine. It is currently using its air time to spread misinformation on the invasion that Russia has undertaken on Ukraine. As a Dstv customer, part of your fees goes towards dstv to paying for this channel to have air time in our country and poison the minds of our citizens. 

essentially our multichoice subscriptions help fund Russia and Putin's propaganda machine.

The goal of this petition is to gain the attention of the top management of multichoice and to remove the Russia Today "news" channel from our screens.
