Airtel Uganda 🇺🇬 to test D2C after Starlink bags provisional licence Airtel Uganda announced on Monday it has begun testing Starlink’s direct-to-cell (D2C) LEO satellite service, shortly Starlink received a provisional licence to offer services in the country. In a LinkedIn post, Airtel Uganda MD and CEO Soumendra Sahu, confirmed that the telco has entered the testing phase for D2C satellite services with Starlink. “Today, we are pleased to begin our journey of exploring our long-awaited partnership with Starlink,” he said. “This marks the start of testing a highly advanced technology that enhances smartphone network connectivity through direct-to-cell satellite services.” The test is part of Airtel Africa’s deal with SpaceX in December 2025 to launch Starlink’s D2C in all of its 14 markets sometime this year. The announcement followed hot on the heels of Monday's news that the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) granted Starlink an provisional licence last week to offer broadband satellite services. Under the licence conditions, Starlink must deploy a national gateway with a physical point of presence in Uganda, ensure that all devices activated in the country are properly registered, and maintain an operational office in Uganda with critical technical, legal and support staff. As part of the agreement, the UCC has established a formal operating framework in Uganda to certify and guide Starlink’s operational rollout, including requirements for compliance with national regulatory standards. Dr. Aminah Zawedde, permanent secretary for the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance, said the licence agreement follows extensive engagements between the government and Starlink officials to ensure compliance with Uganda’s regulatory framework. Starlink/SpaceX representative Ryan Goodnight said Starlink intends to support sectors such as education and health by donating internet connectivity devices to selected facilities across the country. “We believe this partnership will lower internet costs and enable more people to join the digital economy,” Goodnight said. “We are ready to comply with Uganda’s laws and work closely with the government and UCC to ensure successful implementation.” Starlink has been available in Uganda since 2023, although only via its roaming feature in which users buy Starlink kits and subscriptions in neighbouring countries where Starlink operates legally. The UCC ordered Starlink to shut down service in Uganda at the start of this year ahead of the country’s general elections in mid-January.

@Brian___Jethro Doesn't it make more sense to kill her?

@Brian___Jethro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's a fool. How many times have we told men never to send a woman to school. She must come already educated or she must work and pay her own fees. Anyway what's her number; I want to comfort her.

@zimpricecheck Garlic beef rice from Active Sushi in Bulawayo.

Chinese cuisine is getting more and more popular in Harare thanks to the increasing Chinese population. Most meals range from US$10 to US$20. This is a bit above our average US$2 per meal lunch, but if you can afford Nandos, you can afford to sample some of the offerings from these local Chinese restaurants. Some of the flavours can be quite overwhelming for our local palates used to sadza and Haifiridzi. What's your favourite Chinese dish?

@woman_commando @observant_j Ya, you'd have to expose your titties. Long back maybe you would have gotten the attention but these days people don't seem to rate or engage with you anymore. Don't worry, it's life.

@BushmasterRules @observant_j Bold of yall to think if I wanted to get attention I am incapable of doing so 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣like have yall seen me 😂

some men aren’t clinging to patriarchy because it’s fair they’re clinging to it because it’s the only system that hands them “importance😂. & the uncomfortable truth is, many of them know they don’t actually have much to offer once entitlement stops counting as a personality.

@zanupfbyoinfo ED is now the new Mobutu. Always doing useless projects

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced that Zimbabwe will construct its own State House, moving away from the colonial-era Government House that has served as the official presidential residence for decades. The current State House in Harare was built during British colonial rule, a structure that many have long viewed as a reminder of a painful past. Now, the vision is to build a residence that truly reflects Zimbabwean identity, African pride, culture, sovereignty and the spirit of independence.

@bxllyville She's related to someone. This is Zimbabwe and we know how this shit goes.

Vimbai Chikwenhere’s appointment to the role of Auditor General is merit based. She is a qualified chartered accountant and a member of SAICA. She has a rich CV including having worked in the office of the Auditor General of St Helena Island for 6 years. This is progressive transformation 👏🏽👏🏽

@TheOnlyKemi Where's your freaking maid in all this? Even hypothetically you and your husband can't afford a maid? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shlama

I have no problem with 50/50. But the moment I start contributing financially to the household monthly, you also start contributing domestically. You will cook too. Clean too. Do laundry too. Wash toilets too. Bathe the children too. Go to the market too. You cannot demand 50/50 bills while expecting me to carry 100% of the house chores and childcare. If we are both acting like providers, then we are both acting like homemakers too.

@drruwende Tjo the way she'll be nice and hot in there. Hmmm , I enjoyed. That was our first time to have sex with my current chic.

Its perfectly fine to swim in red sea with your one and only, if both you are comfortable with it.

@CMukungunugwa Try going to the domestic terminal toilets. I was there the other day. Hmmmmmm, it was embarrassing.

@drjaytee87 I hope my policy with Corporate 24 won't be affected.

REBUTTAL ON BEHALF OF PRIVATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO “THE RISKS OF FRAGMENTING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM” We, the independent private healthcare providers of Zimbabwe—doctors, specialists, pathologists, radiologists, pharmacists, private hospitals, and allied health professionals—have read the opinion piece defending vertical integration by medical aid societies (MAS). That piece attempts to draw false parallels between healthcare and other industries, cherry-picks international examples, and fundamentally misunderstands the unique nature of healthcare as a service governed by clinical ethics, not commercial logic. Below we dismantle each argument systematically, strengthen our previous submissions, and demonstrate why the proposed amendments to SI 330 of 2000 are not only justified but urgently necessary. --- 1. Healthcare is not banking, telecoms, or funeral assurance – A fatal category error The opinion argues that because Zimbabwe accepts vertical integration in funeral assurance, banking, and retail, it should also accept it in healthcare. This is a dangerous and intellectually dishonest comparison. Why healthcare is different: · Banking: You can choose a different bank if service is poor. Your life does not depend on a single transaction. · Telecoms: Dropped calls are an inconvenience, not a death sentence. · Funeral assurance: The service is delivered after death. Quality control is not a matter of life and death. · Healthcare: A delayed referral, a denied test, or a substandard facility can kill or permanently disable a patient. The stakes are incomparable. The opinion admits that healthcare is “far greater complexity” but then ignores that complexity. Healthcare involves clinical independence, informed consent, patient autonomy, and the Hippocratic Oath—none of which apply to funeral parlours. To equate the two is not just wrong; it is reckless. Our position: Vertical integration in healthcare creates a direct financial incentive for the funder to underprovide care. No other industry has that lethal potential. --- 2. International examples – Correcting the selective citation The opinion cites Kaiser Permanente (US), Singapore, the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK’s Integrated Care Systems as evidence that integration works. This is a textbook example of cherry-picking. Country/System What the opinion omits Kaiser Permanente Operates under strict non-profit status, independent physician groups, and state-level regulatory oversight that Zimbabwe lacks. Doctors are not employees of the insurance arm; they belong to separate Permanente Medical Groups with clinical autonomy. Singapore Government is the dominant funder and provider. Medical aid societies (private insurers) have minimal market share. Vertical integration is tightly regulated with mandatory Medisave accounts and price controls. Netherlands & Germany Both have separated purchasing and provision under their universal health insurance systems. Insurers cannot own hospitals. The opinion has this backwards. UK’s Integrated Care Systems These are contractual partnerships between NHS England, local authorities, and providers. The NHS is the single payer. No private medical aid society owns NHS hospitals. Again, a false parallel. The opinion’s most glaring omission: South Africa, our neighbour, prohibits medical schemes from owning healthcare facilities under Section 21(1)(b) of the Medical Schemes Act. Zimbabwe is not reinventing the wheel; we are catching up to sound regional regulation. Our position: If the opinion truly believed in international best practice, it would support prohibition. That it does not reveals its true motive: protecting MAS profit, not patients. --- 3. The “lifeline” fallacy – PSMAS proved integration kills The opinion claims medical aid-owned facilities are a “lifeline” for civil servants. The liquidation of PSMAS is the definitive rebuttal. · What happened: PSMAS diverted member contributions into artisanal gold

@observant_j @woman_commando 💯 and she didn't get the likes she wanted. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@woman_commando yet you're also seeking importance through social media outrage a system that hands out validation cheaply lol

@sharonmufaro Looks like you didn't get the backlash you were hoping for! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We woke up and found that our neighborhood has solar street lights. I know they will be a backlash to this post but l don’t care. We are happy with the solar street lights.

@six_papi Learn to research and read you fool. Xi will be going to the US also. Trump went there first because he will want to outdo Xi when he comes for his visit.

Trump visiting China again when Xi hasn’t been to the US in a long time shows one thing: the US needs China more. America can’t live without China.

@begottensun Nah mate! You're offside on this one; and you know it.

Why are we mad at others for buying cars for themselves and others , when collectively we spend a BILLION on booze and sugar water? 😂. Guys Zimbabwean have MONEY. Enough to build school, fix roads, fix housing… we just choose to drink and piss it. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
