Showmax mobile subscribers in Ghana will pay GH¢16.99 a month for access to the full Showmax catalogue on a single mobile device. This is a more than 25% reduction on the previous price point of ¢22.99.

Speaking about the price change, Yolisa Phahle, MultiChoice Group CEO for Connected Video, says, “We know that consumers are under pressure at the moment and we believe this change will be appreciated by our mobile customers as will the decision not to increase any of our other prices. We look forward to more Ghanaians enjoying our proudly African stories.”
