Elon Musk could have simply paid off the cadres, and it would have been officially reported that he complied with the regulations.
Starlink would then be operating in South Africa, just like every other business right now.
The bribe would not even be the full 30%, it would be far less, pocketed directly by the cadres, and these cuts do absolutely nothing for the average South African.
It is an extortion system, hand over 30%, ask the investors for a bribe to get clearance, and then report to the public that they complied.
This routine is an extortion system set up by political patronage to enrich private empires, not South Africa.
B-BBEE laws have done nothing for the South African people, but they have done a lot for politicians and their immediate circles.
RFK Jr: “We deprived two generations of children of whole milk.”
“It really was almost a form of child abuse to do that.”
“It has all the micronutrients that they need for brain growth, for physical development, and for bone development.”
Do yourself a favor and watch this gripping documentary of farm murders in South Africa.
It goes deep into the depths of hell and what is left in the families hearts after horrific farm murders.
@KTHopkins was one of the first activists to speak up about it and has opened so many eyes to what is happening to our people.

I'm no fan of Prince Harry, but I think it's absolutely diabolical how Meghan Markle has weaponized his deepest trauma - the loss of his mother - with such cold, calculated precision.
By manufacturing the exact same narrative of being hunted by the paparazzi, she deliberately triggered his worst fears, making him believe she’s one wrong move away from Diana’s fate.
She’s exploiting his deepest and most painful trauma in order to control him.
Keeping him eternally paranoid, isolated, and convinced that only he can save her.
This isn’t love. It’s psychological warfare - pure, ruthless cruelty.
