New Weekly Payment Plan Claws Back Control for Budget-Savvy Subscribers
Kampala: In a bold stride to redefine pay-TV accessibility, MultiChoice Uganda has introduced “Ka Weekie”—a weekly subscription model for DStv and GOtv users. The innovative plan, announced on April 17, 2025, at Kampala’s Mestil Hotel, allows customers to pay as low as UGX 5,000 weekly for uninterrupted access to premium content, breaking free from traditional 30-day payment cycles.
Tailored for Real-Life Needs
Designed to address financial flexibility gaps, *Ka Weekie* caters to viewers who prefer short-term commitments. Parents managing school holidays, Airbnb hosts entertaining guests, or casual viewers craving weekend sports and shows can now opt for bite-sized subscriptions.
“This is about empowering our customers,” emphasized Rinaldi Jamugisa, MultiChoice Uganda’s Communications Manager. “Not everyone can commit to monthly fees, but that shouldn’t lock them out of quality entertainment. Ka Weekie is their gateway.”
How It Works
Subscribers can activate weekly plans via USSD code *206#* or through the #MyDStv and MyGOtv apps. Options span all GOtv tiers (Lite, Value, Plus, Max, Supa, Supa+) and DStv packages (Lumba, Access, Family, Compact), with full access granted for seven days.

A Response to Customer Demands
Colin Asiimwe, MultiChoice Uganda’s Head of Marketing, highlighted that Ka Weekie emerged from direct viewer feedback. “Many juggle irregular incomes or temporary needs. Why pay for a full month when you only need a week?” he noted. The model also targets lapsed subscribers, offering an affordable re-entry to channels like SuperSport, local series, and kids’ programs.
Monthly Plans Remain Unscratched
While Ka Weekie adds flexibility, traditional monthly packages stay intact. “This isn’t a replacement—it’s a choice,” Jamugisa clarified. “We’re simply ensuring no one’s left behind in Uganda’s digital entertainment shift.”
Industry Leadership
MultiChoice cements its pioneer status as Uganda’s first pay-TV provider to adopt weekly billing. Asiimwe affirmed, “We’re setting the pace for customer-centric innovation. This launch is just the start.”
Final Mews
With *Ka Weekie*, MultiChoice Uganda pounces on a gap in the market, proving that premium TV needn’t be a luxury. Whether you’re binge-watching dramas or catching the latest football clash, this plan ensures your screen time aligns with your wallet—no hairballs attached.
