StarSat’s main competition in Zimbabwe is South African pay TV leader MultiChoice’s DStv service. Rival pay TV service Kwesé TV, whose founder is Zimbabwean businessman Strive Masiyiwa, has yet to secure the necessary permissions to launch in Masiyiwa’s home country.
The service recently launched in Ghana, Rwanda and neighbouring Zambia, offering a bouquet of channels for about US$25 a month. Masiyiwa told press that Kwesé would launch in Zimbabwe as soon as it received a licence, which he expected to happen soon.
The StarSat decoder is going for US $36. In terms of monthly subscriptions StarSat is currently offering 5 monthly subscription packages:
- Starsat Special $10
- Starsat Super $19
- Starsat Sport $ 9
- Starsat Chinese $19
