Billionaire Elon Musk has intensified his legal and verbal feud with the South African government, claiming Starlink is being denied an operating licence “solely because he is not Black.” At the heart of the dispute is South Africa’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) policy, which requires telecommunications companies to have 30% ownership by historically disadvantaged groups, including Black South Africans, women, and people with disabilities. While the ANC-led government has maintained that these laws are essential to redress the legacy of Apartheid, Musk has slammed them as “openly racist,” even alleging that South Africa now has more “anti-White laws” than there were “anti-Black laws” under apartheid.

Dear Mbule Nziege Leonard: South Africa is not the largest economy in Africa. This is why other Africans see you people as servants because everything in South Africa is owned and built by the white 7% of your population. Without the white population establishments. South African is nothing. Majority of your population depend on government grants to sustain your livelihood.
