The SABC said the surge in registrations has been largely driven by live sports broadcasts, which have consistently attracted over 60,000 new users per major game.

Additionally, the recent #SwitchToStream campaign has further accelerated the platform’s growth by educating audiences on the convenience and accessibility of SABC Plus across multiple devices.
