That’s roughly how many white South Africans watch DSTV according to eighty20, my daily feeder of facts about life in South Africa.

Conversely only 870 000 black people watch DSTV.

The most popular South African TV channel is SABC1 which garners 70% of South African adult viewers. SABC2 gets 58% and SABC3 a paltrey 45%.

Nothing is known about eTV, which is probably a good thing.

According to WikiPedia there are 5,265,300 white people living in South Africa, making up roughly 11% of the total population.
