NuDebt and SABC harassing and threatening tax-paying law abiding citizens

I have been getting emails and text messages daily threatening me with penalties regarding my TV license even though it had been paid in full on 22 November 2024.

I spoke to a NuDebt consultant – Refilwe – just two days ago who assured me that I didn't owe any money, the next license is only due in July 2025, and that NuDebt would stop harassing me. He also said something about their 'system being slow''… But lo and behold, two and a half hours later I am sent yet another email trying to force me to pay yet more money. In the two days since my call, I have had two more emails and two text messages informing me that my license is in arrears and that I am going to be penalised with escalating fines. I have emailed them repeatedly, along with my proof of payment, but the harassment and threats continue.

NuDebt and the SABC should spend less time and effort harassing me and more on recouping the outstanding R11.6 million owed by former SABC CEO Hlaudi Motsoeneng. He was court-ordered to repay the ******** bonuses he paid himself in April 2023 already, and he hasn't repaid a cent. I have friends who are employed at the SABC who weren't paid in December. The SABC and NuDebt need to get their priorities in order.
