EcoCash has re-introduced DSTV payments via its RANDS wallet feature. This comes days after EcoCash suspended all DSTV payments through its normal “USD/Bond Note” wallet effective on 1 January 2017.

The Rand wallet will allow you to pay ALL your DSTV bouquets in RANDS at the following rates:

DSTv Access: R159.50
DSTv Box Office: R36.35
DSTv Family Boquet: R246.50
DSTv Compact Plus: R681.50
DSTv Compact: R406
DSTv Premium: R1044

EcoCash suspended its normal DSTv payments due to the remittance challenges it was facing when trying to make payments to Multichoice South Africa. The RBZ considers DSTv as entertainment so it’s not prioritised when it comes to remitting foreign currency out of Zimbabwe.
