The world's best internet technology remains locked out of South Africa.
Not because it fails to perform.
Because it does not meet government's ownership requirements.
Meanwhile, government appears ready to welcome a competitor with zero commercial satellite customers anywhere in the world.
The cost falls on rural communities, schools, farmers and businesses who are denied access to world-class connectivity for no good reason.
Elon Musk single-handedly shattered the global silence on South Africa's institutionalised extortion.
Without him, the world would still be blind to a state-sanctioned shakedown disguised as "compliance."
Investors are forced to surrender equity to a handpicked pool of ANC cadres and cronies just to operate.
Wealth creation is held hostage by political gatekeepers. They rebranded systemic corporate theft as policy.
Every major business has been extorted, they did not invest in the economy, but rather paid off the ruling elite to buy peace and the green light to operate.
You either cut the cadres in, or you get locked out.
It is a parasitic framework where corrupt politicians contribute absolutely zero to the economy, yet take the biggest cut.
Thank you Shoprite.
We can all have a bread everyday.
With only R35 you have 7 loaves for the whole week.
With R140, you have bread for the whole month.
Albany or Sasko you need R600 for the whole month on bread alone.
In the 2025/26 financial year the City of Joburg only spent 26% of their capital budget. That means money that was supposed to be invested in critical projects, such as stormwater infrastructure, was either stolen or mismanaged.
You can change this by registering to vote for a DA government! 🗳️🇿🇦
