DSTV ********ly adding Disney+ to accounts

DSTV's own Terms and Conditions stipulate that the Customer must contact DSTV to have Disney+ added to your account, but they have just added it to my account without me asking for it and they have billed me for it and have taken money for it. The Consumer Protection Act in Section 21 deals with unsolicited goods and services with Section 21 (7) stating that a consumer does not have to pay for unsolicited goods or services. This brings into question just how legally is DSTV operating by "helpfully" adding unwanted products to your account?

Forgot to mention that by sharing my mobile number with Disney+ without my permission is a serious breach of the Protection of Personal Information Act.
