Elon Musk’s Starlink wants to invest R2 billion in South Africa to bring high-speed internet to schools, rural towns, and remote areas, but our government seems more interested in gatekeeping than progress.

In this Newsflash episode, Joe Emilio breaks down Starlink’s R2 billion “BEE plan” and how the South African government is once again turning opportunity into chaos. Starlink offered to connect thousands of schools and reach over 2.4 million learners through an Equity Equivalent Investment Programme (EEIP), a system where companies invest locally instead of giving away 30% ownership.

Sounds smart, right? Not for the ANC. According to South African law, telecom companies need at least 30% black ownership to operate here. Instead of welcoming Starlink’s alternative plan to invest billions and empower local ISPs, some Members of Parliament are crying foul, calling it “a loophole.” Because in South Africa, helping kids connect to the internet is apparently less important than helping politicians connect to tenders.

Over 19,000 South Africans have already voiced their support for Starlink’s plan. The people want faster, cheaper internet. But political elites want control. The government’s reaction perfectly shows how BEE policies have been twisted from empowerment tools into protection rackets for the politically connected.

This story isn’t about Wi-Fi or satellites. It’s about control, power, and hypocrisy. South Africa could become a digital hub for Africa with just one decision, but the ANC’s obsession with ownership over impact is holding the country hostage.

In this episode, Joe Emilio dives deep into the madness, breaking down:
• How Starlink’s R2 billion plan could revolutionize connectivity in South Africa
• What the Equity Equivalent Investment Programme (EEIP) actually means
• Why BEE has become a barrier instead of a bridge for innovation
• The real reason government elites are terrified of independent progress
• How this decision could decide South Africa’s digital future

Starlink’s investment could have connected thousands of schools by now, but bureaucracy, ideology, and greed are keeping South Africans offline. The same government that can’t fix Eskom or keep the trains running now wants to tell Elon Musk how to run a satellite network that beams internet from space.

At some point, South Africans must decide whether they want empowerment or excuses. Do we want opportunity for millions of learners or endless BEE paperwork for millionaires?

Watch the full episode to see how this situation perfectly exposes the absurdity of South Africa’s economic policies, the hypocrisy of its leaders, and the incredible potential that keeps getting blocked by politics.

  • Starlink will make a ‘silent’ genocide less ‘silent’. It will also extend the final climax.

  • The South African Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policy does not legally force companies (including foreign-owned or traditionally white companies) to partner with the ANC or a specific politically-affiliated person. Companies are free to choose their BEE partners from the pool of Black, Indian and Coloured South Africans . Is it that hard to fiind a partner from these groups?

  • Wait, internet for rural areas? ANC voters can see what the cadres do to South Africa?
    Eish, neva.

  • Every country around SA has Starlink because they understand what it means. Only the ANC are too dumb to understand the implications. They don’t want access to information… they want to control information, like North Korea does.
