Meet Jabulani – A Showmax legend
He’s got the entire Showmax office in stitches and some people might be in love.
His name is Jabulani, and although we’ve only just met, we think he might be the one. There’s nothing more we love than seeing people discover how easy it is to get access to awesome entertainment.
Here’s what he had to say when he recently signed up for the FREE Showmax trial.

Tell that bra with the infected hard drive to jog on.
What’s also nice about this #Showmax app… I don’t have to kiss your behind for your illegally downloaded series.

Who needs twitter when you got thousands of series and movies?
