Hello Skeeta@1,

Your enquiry dated 28 February 2015 regarding being fined for using and being in possession your brothers TV and the licence number *** has reference.

Broadcasting Act no 4 of 1999 as amended and the Regulations under this Act cleary states that...\Any person who uses and or who is in possession of a television must have a valid TV licence.\"
