The Department of Justice in South Africa has agreed to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Partners Against Piracy. PAP is of the opinion that once the MoU is signed, it will also strengthen future co-operation between PAP and the South African Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DOJ&CD) in combating broadcasting piracy. “Today marks another milestone in the Government’s efforts to fight broadcast and content piracy, which continue to drain the fiscus of billions of rands a year. Since 2020, the South African Cybercrimes Act has permitted through harsher sentences on content pirates. We look forward to strengthening partnerships with a number of stakeholders, including the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development, to wage a coordinated war against piracy,” said Marc Jury, CEO, MultiChoice South Africa.
