Starlink is an Internet Service Provider, not a sci-fi superweapon.
The narrative that a single tech CEO can seize control of a nation's critical infrastructure is rooted in deep technical illiteracy.

The state retains absolute regulatory authority over its domestic radio spectrum, if a foreign provider goes rogue, the government can revoke its license and terminate the signal instantly.
The South African authorities must stop weaponizing far-fetched conspiracy theories to mask their own policy stagnation, and the public must look past the political propaganda.
