So many new hotspots, so much more to stream!
When South Africans log in at one of the new free and fast hotspots in Cape Town sponsored by Google, their toughest choice will be deciding what to binge-watch first!
Called Google Station, the public hotspots are being rolled out at more than 100 locations in the Cape Flats, and Showmax has come on board to support the project.
With series like Godfather of Harlem, Watchmen and His Dark Materials, plus local gems like Ifalakhe and Real Housewives of Johannesburg, plus live sports like English Premier League matches and EFC fighting, there’s so much to Showmax.
