Starlink banned in South Africa because I’m not black – Elon Musk

United States billionaire Elon Musk on Friday claimed that Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa because he is “not Black.”
Commenting on a post on his social media platform, X, he wrote: “Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa because I’m not Black.”
The dispute over Starlink’s operations in South Africa has been ongoing for some time.
In August 2023, the South African government officially banned the import of Starlink kits.
The decision has prevented citizens from accessing the satellite internet service.
Despite being operational in 17 African countries, including neighbouring nations such as Namibia, Mozambique, and Botswana, South Africa—the continent’s largest economy—is not on the Starlink network.
