The company's email message to former clients read: "Shhh! Don't tell anyone – we have a special offer for you! DStv Premium for only R699* per month!".
"Not only do you save big – we've also got the hottest line-up of local and international award winning series, and only the best sporting action."
"Plus, you'll find tons of exclusive binge-worthy series on Showmax – all yours – because Showmax is free with DStv Premium!"
The special DStv Premium price of R699 per month – a significant discount on the usual R809 per month - is, however, only valid from 1 August 2018 to 31 October 2018.
This price only includes the subscription, and excludes the R85 Access Fee which is needed to use PVR functionality and XtraView.
A former DStv Premium subscribers are receiving as many as two SMSs per day, and an email every few days, from the company trying to convince him to return.
