BREAKING: South Africa is allowing Amazon Leo to launch through Herotel and evry, while Starlink is still blocked. Elon Musk was offered approval if Starlink pretended that a Black frontman ran Starlink South Africa and paid a bribe to dodge the rules. He refused on principle. South Africa’s government enforces racist BEE rules that require 30% Black ownership. Starlink: ~10,700 active satellites, 12M+ customers, and availability across 160+ countries Amazon Leo: 394 satellites, no commercial customers, and no commercial service operating anywhere yet Yet South Africa has created a path for the far smaller, unproven network while keeping the world’s most established satellite internet system out. This is not empowerment. It is regulatory self-sabotage, and South Africans are the ones paying the price.
