@StandardBankZA @Tshego_Ngoash This just doesn't work guys. However is in charge of IT there should just ask for help to create a more user friendly app. It's frustrating 😔

@JesusPet02 @AfricanHub_ 💯. Mine too. He would have ended that in a second.

@AfricanHub_ My kid would have fucked that piece of shit up with a single head butt. I taught him to retaliate any racist aggression with violence. He is working towards his kickboxing career now. I wish that kid was messing with him.

Your intervention is unbelievably naive and shallow, Chipo, not you, but your intervention, which equates David Coltart’s business offer to colonialism!

David Coltart is offering land to build ground stations, also known as gateways, to a business that will provide better internet connectivity not only for Bulawayo but for the whole of Southern Africa.

This initiative will create huge employment, and better internet connectivity will facilitate economic growth and development in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa, enabling our businesses to access online markets, resources, and services, even in rural areas.

Starlink will not bring Americans, it will hire and retrain local engineers.
The land will not belong to Starlink but to the city of Bulawayo, just as farmland has been given to foreign farmers, land that is far bigger than these ground stations will ever use.

The presence of Starlink base stations in Zimbabwe will introduce more competition in the telecommunications market and complement existing internet services, leading to lower prices and better service quality for African consumers because the ground stations In Zimbabwe will service over half of Africa but bringing benefits to Zimbabwe and the people of Bulawayo.

The construction of Starlink ground stations in Zimbabwe will also lead to increased investment in infrastructure and technology, contributing to the overall development of the country through technology transfer from America which will also benefit our tertiary institutions like National University of Science and Technology.

Partnering with SpaceX, which owns Starlink, and hosting its ground stations will help Zimbabwe establish itself as a serious African player in the global telecommunications market, a position currently held by South Africa in the region.

As I mentioned before, Starlink uses approximately 29,000 acres (11,736 hectares) of land across three Nigerian states of Lagos, Ogun, and Rivers, for its ground stations.
This is typically unused land, such as what you see in the middle of highways.
These ground stations bring economic activity to otherwise quiet communities outside the internet business.

The establishment of these important ground stations has improved internet connectivity and strengthened Starlink's presence not only in Nigeria but across Africa.
We are currently benefiting from them, but they are insufficient, hence Mayor Coltart's offer.

Starlink only has these base stations in Nigeria in the whole of Africa, so the next African country to host them would secure a significant economic and technological coup!

Starlink collaborates with local companies to build this infrastructure, as it did in Nigeria, so the economic and technological benefits are hugely important!

Offering land to attract investment is a standard practice worldwide, including in the West where you live and work.
Several countries in the Western world have offered land to foreign businesses to encourage investment, create jobs and economic growth.
A quick Google search gave me the following examples.

- The German government has offered land and financial incentives to attract foreign businesses, particularly in the automotive, renewable energy, and technology sectors.

- The Irish government has provided incentives for foreign businesses to invest in the country, including favourable tax policies and access to land for business development.

- Canadian provinces, such as Alberta and British Columbia, have offered land and financial incentives to attract foreign businesses, particularly in the oil and gas, agriculture, and renewable energy industries.

- The British government has provided incentives, including access to land, to encourage foreign businesses to invest in the country, particularly in the technology, financial services, and manufacturing sectors.

These are just a few examples, and the specific incentives and policies vary depending on the country, industry, and political climate.

Munowanza fodya. What did His Excellency President @edmnangagwa say about the extension of his term?

@daddyhope @Starlink They have since pulled the site down and working on it, what a joke

@News24 @LameezOmarjee This was Zuma's strategy and it was flatly denied by the right wing media...now it's being applauded by the same . Not surprised
