Can someone tell me how to get South African channels like SABC, etv, kyknet and the original MNet here. We have dstv but it does not include these channels. Can I bring my decoder and card from RSA?

Yes you can, but you would need a very large dish, which would in all likelihood not please your neighbours.  Probably a dish of 1.5m/1.8m in diameter would guarantee reception.  It's not broadcast via the same satellite to Mauritius as it is to SA, hence the larger dish.
