@SizweLo Futseke idiot

Elon Musk has posted 50 times about South Africa in just 7 days, and Zimbabweans are just as angry as he is. This is because they both desperately need South Africa to allow Starlink in. We all know that the Starlink constellation is the largest array of satellites in the world. However, even with all of those satellites, Starlink still needs to connect to internet data centres on the ground. The satellites have to beam the data down to a ground station, which then sends the data across the internet using undersea cables. This is where South Africa comes in as one of the most connected countries on the continent with seven of the major undersea cables landing in Cape Town and Durban. These are the cables connecting Africa’s internet directly to Europe, Asia and the Americas. Because of this, Elon Musk wants to build a Starlink ground station in South Africa because it would ensure he gets fast, stable, high capacity routes straight into the global internet. Beyond the cables, South Africa also has world-class data centres alongside Tier 3+ infrastructure, which means high uptime, power redundancy, cooling and security. NAPAfrica, one of the largest internet exchange points on the continent is also in South Africa, with facilities in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg. So, it should be clear that Starlink in SA is not about selling satellite dishes to households. It’s about plugging into the continent’s internet backbone and using South Africa to build a solid launch pad for a robust infrastructure build. Elon Musk can turn on Starlink in every single country on the continent, but without South Africa, he reaches a dead end and can never get his service to work properly on the continent. This also explains why some Zimbabweans are livid about South Africa not letting Starlink in. The service will just not work well over there without South Africa’s participation. OK, but if this is so important to Starlink why is Elon Musk stubbornly refusing to adhere to straightforward BEE requirements? Well, as pointed above, South Africa’s value to Starlink is mostly as infrastructure backbone, not as a massive retail customer base. We all know he won’t get any meaningful number of customers in SA. There’s simply no market for it. Musk just wants to use South Africa to route through neighbouring countries, and to him, this is not worth giving up a 30% stake in South Africa’s operations. For Musk, the BEE thing is just a strategic business decision. All that racism talk is just a smokescreen for a hard-nosed business choice.

@WillarShoko @TiffinSir But it has outsold Tesla worldwide, what do you mean no way close? bbc.com/news/articles/…

@TiffinSir Still no way close to Tesla FSD

More than China , the US now has 2 independent rocket companies that are able to perform what China aerospace can't

@Bheki305 @African_Spring @LarryMadowo True brother.

@African_Spring @LarryMadowo You're South African, there is less stupidity in South Africa. Go to Hopewell Chin'ono Facebook page and see Zimbabweans praising him there. And also check the comment section on Jerusalem post, Nigerians are even holding prayers for him.

Elite Africans with big English are crashing out over this post but the comments under it from across Africa are proving strong support for Trump. Get out of your filter bubbles and speak to regular people outside your privileged circles

@Jamwanda2 Really don’t we have freedoms in our country, what’s insulting here, an art that was made to celebrate the late Nkomo which didn’t actually came out well.

Whoever had done this parody of the late Vice President should be send to jail without trial!!!! We behave like people with zero aesthetics!!!!! Or a perfunctory appreciation and reverence of our heroes!!!!

@advocatemahere @ngadziore If we overcome #CAB3 our country will never be the same again, it will be the greatest country in Africa. None of them are capable of exhausting the 2 terms we already have. Nature is slowly rewarding our wishes #HowTheyRobbedUs

🔸Tomorrow, Zimbabwe turns 46. Ndiudzei zviripamoyo. Use the hashtag #HowTheyRobbedUs. We need new leaders.🇿🇼

@elonmusk Messing up the big democratic government in Africa where whites hold the second largest party with high possibility of grabbing power is crazy over space WiFi.The country has Walmart, Ford,Microsoft and major American companies. One wonders how did these American companies did it

If South Africa doesn’t change its super racist Apartheid 2.0 laws, the country must be sanctioned

@Shadaya_Knight Was he charged with gun possession the answer is YES Does the charge carry prison sentence, YES up to 16 years Did he admit to these charges-YES How is the most powerful hand coming here??

Julius Malema (as of now) sentenced to 5 years in prison Ask yourself this question? > Who did Malema piss off? If you don't see, an external influence in this case, then you're a domkop There are individuals from a certain country who have marked Malema as an enemy. These individuals are wealthy and powerful, this is them exerting their influence The South African judicial system has been captured by these people Should he go to prison, mark my words, he'll not finish his sentence, they'd have eliminated him there Black South Africans need to wake up

@_MakdShelby Nga support every team from Europe but draws the line when it comes to Zim local teams

Not when your wardrobe looks like a Uefa Changing Room 😤

@MFaarees_ You didn’t choose to be Muslim geography did it for you.

I have every business being a Muslim, and I'm more than proud of being a Muslim. You don't speak for me.

Given the extremely high rate of recidivism, this is important for community safety

@WillarShoko Dude, you think they are against dictatorship 😂 didn’t know your level of brainwashing, do you think they are against Museveni or Biya, show me a statement they criticize those two dictators

@CoreyCarterTM US IS COMING HARD

After Iran, Greenland, and South America, Trump should come to Africa

@WillarShoko Dude how are you so brainwashed and don’t bother to look elsewhere to see if those wars are transformative or kill civilization. Is it because you dickride starlink?

@CoreyCarterTM Sounds like our liders LITE

@professorjack @curious_edline Great observation I was in Zim in 2022

@CoreyCarterTM @curious_edline You should visit the CBD again.

We have a serious public toilet shortage in Zimbabwe

@professorjack @curious_edline Crazy how your brain is wired to one thing grocery shops, we have shops like Edgar’s, Bata, Express and TV sales etc all these shops have no toilet for their customers.

@CoreyCarterTM @curious_edline Why don't you give your own solution? Oh wait! You are so out of touch with reality that you have no idea that there are less than 5 supermarkets and a bunch of tuckshops in the CBD with shared locked toilets. You have no solution.

@professorjack @curious_edline Is that your solution? Nonsense man do parliamentarians who make laws do so because they have business

@CoreyCarterTM @curious_edline You are free to open your shop and lead by example so that others may follow.

@professorjack @curious_edline Shops have janitors already, have you been outside Zim if I may ask? Customers already contribute more to these shops and not giving them access to a toilet is just BS when you have fast foods like chicken inn with public toilets?

@CoreyCarterTM @curious_edline Why? Who will maintain the toilets once opened to the public?

@WhiteHouse Deport ❌ Chair✅

A tragedy that should never have happened. Rolbert Joachin, an illegal alien released into the U.S. under Biden, was arrested for hitting an INNOCENT MOTHER to death with a hammer in broad daylight. The Biden Admin let dangerous criminals in, endangering every American. The Trump Admin is swiftly bringing them to justice.

@MukomanaWemari @curious_edline Some of us have been fortunate enough to travel, if shops open toilets to the public, surely, you will not see urinated spots or poo on the corner. Shops get money from consumers and that should pay janitors. No shop wil be overwhelmed by people of every shop has a toilet open

@CoreyCarterTM @curious_edline You would be surprised how we would end up at the same problem if those toilets are unsupervised they will be misused beyond use its the consumer at fault here guys
