Putting Customers First. Every Time. We’re in the business of entertainment, there’s no doubt about that. From iThonga, Cobrizi, and Niggies to championship sporting events – we’re here to deliver delight. But we’re also in the business of delivering impeccable customer service, and while that is a bold commitment, it’s one we’re making with our chest. That’s where ‘Customer First. Every Time.’, comes in. The recently launched internal campaign aligns the efforts of our frontline customer heroes and teams across the business in ensuring every customer interaction reflects our dedication to excellence, care, and service. Bringing this vision to life are MultiChoice South Africa CEO Byron Du Plessis and COO Jabavu Heshu. Alongside our leadership team, they recently led a trade visit in Polokwane, engaging with customers, retailers, and partners. By stepping into our customers’ world, we gain invaluable insights that help us continuously improve and innovate. After all, we are also in the business of innovation. ‘Customer First’ is more than just a campaign — it’s a cultural transformation. Together, we are shaping a future where every MultiChoice customer feels valued, heard, and appreciated.
