Communications minister Solly Malatsi has gazetted a draft policy direction that potentially clears the way for Elon Musk’s Starlink to operate locally.
South Africa’s transformation obligations and policies have seemed to stand in the way of Starlink’s local availability, as frequently vocalised and criticised by Musk.
Under South African legislation, companies providing telecoms services must hold ECNS and ECS licences, which require at least 30% ownership by historically disadvantaged South Africans.
Comments or representations are hereby invited from the public.
The Minister will consider all comments before a decision is taken on this matter.
