In separate statements last weekend, the SABC and MultiChoice announced that last Saturday's T20 Cricket World Cup final, as well as two upcoming rugby test matches between the Springboks and Ireland on 6 and 13 July, would be broadcast on SABC platforms.
However, the agreement restricted the SABC from airing the matches on its channels that are carried on eMedia's platforms - notably free-to-air satellite platform Openview .
The SABC was also restricted from streaming the matches on SABC Plus , its fast-growing streaming platform.
But an April ruling by the Competition Tribunal prohibited such agreements between the two broadcasters for a period of six months or until the Competition Commission makes a determination over an earlier complaint by eMedia in this matter.
eMedia this week filed papers at the competition appeal court to enforce the April order.
