Netflix is the most popular pay-tv service in Namibia. In fact, Namibians say they prefer streaming services such as Netflix and Home Box Office (HBO) over Digital Satellite Television (DStv). Showmax is also one of the most popular in the country.
The confession of Netflix's unique services by streamers over other streaming platforms in Namibia comes after MultiChoice subscribers declined by 9%, according to the company's annual report for the year ended 2024. Namibians criticize DStv for high prices, repetitive content, and lack of flexibility compared to streaming options like Netflix that offer on-demand viewing at lower costs.
Although some, like Tony Sefako, still subscribe for uninterrupted sports coverage, others like Tendu Kampanyama and Lukas Atutala find streaming more affordable and adaptable to personal viewing habits. MultiChoice’s financial strain is evident, with liabilities surpassing assets, exacerbated by a recent N$12 billion loan for operational costs.
Despite accelerating cost-saving measures and expanding other services, MultiChoice risks losing relevance if it doesn’t adapt to the evolving media landscape. But that's not where we are going; in this article, I'm going to walk you through everything you need to know about Netflix's subscription packages and their prices per month.
