TV License: To pay or not to pay

The other day I received a reminder in the mail: Renew your TV licence before this-or-that date or face legal charges and/or black listing.

Now according to what's going around in the media and plastered on lamp post signs, the ship known as the SABC is taking on water. Whether it's just sprung a leak that can be patched up or struck an iceberg and is going down fast is probably a bit too early to say. Point is, I don't feel like paying when the SABC might actually be in danger of stopping to broadcast in the near future. Not that much of what they broadcast at the moment is anything to write home about. But that topic is a whole different kettle of fish and will provide ample fodder for a future rant.

And then the best bit: The threat of black listing!!! And that when their own financial troubles is probably big enough to get themselves black listed several times over!!!
