Communications minister Mondli Gungubele has disclosed that the government has not blocked Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite network from operating in SA. Instead, it is the US satellite company that has not applied for an operating licence in the country.
The DA says that the reason Starlink has not yet applied for a licence is due to unfavourable regulations.
