In a Republic, actually
‘South Africa on Friday rejected a claim by multibillionaire Elon Musk that his Starlink satellite company could not operate in the country because he is not Black, and its telecoms regulator said Starlink had not applied for a licence.

In his latest rebuke of the country where he was born and went to school, Musk wrote on X, which he also owns: "Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa, because I'm not black".

Clayson Monyela, a senior official at the foreign affairs department, responded emphatically on the social media platform.

"Sir, that's NOT true & you know it! It's got nothing to do with your skin colour. Starlink is welcome to operate in South Africa provided there's compliance with local laws," Monyela wrote. "This is a global international trade & investment principle."’


Musk is as much a racist and liar as Trump.
 
South Africa is being destroyed because of Chinas influence. This is their objective in every country.

Trump should be hitting them with a 50% tariff. That would still be a great deal for China as they suppress their currency.

Screw South Africa, let them use tribal drums to message each other. Starlink can't operate in South Africa because they have a regulatory requirement that telecom companies must have 30% ownership by "historically disadvantaged groups", as part of the country's Black Economic Empowerment policy. This is supposedly meant to redress four centuries of "racist colonial rule against black people", none of which Musk ever took part in.

The real racists are the Marxist South African blacks.

In other words, because he's not black.
