We revisit the ongoing debate over Starlink. Our guest argues that the problem with Starlink goes beyond the country’s Black Economic Empowerment program and she feels that allowing Starlink to operate in the country is akin to putting a powerful weapon into the hands of people who have expressed nothing but contempt for South Africa.
