Starlink cannot operate in South Africa because of black ownership laws. Elon Musk claims his space internet company faces discrimination. The South African government says Starlink never actually applied for a license. Under rules created after apartheid ended, companies need to give 30% ownership to black South Africans.

Communications Minister Solly Malatsi wants to find a way around these requirements for Starlink. He suggested the company might invest in social programs instead of having black partners. The plan faces strong opposition from lawmakers who insist transformation remains necessary. They refuse special treatment for Musk...

He said the delay hurt retail businesses badly. Products smuggled from neighboring South Africa have flooded markets recently.
Local factories operate at half capacity because they cannot compete. The...
