💨 Abstract

Minister Gayton McKenzie has defended Elon Musk's Starlink against transformational legislation, sparking controversy. He believes Starlink could provide cheaper internet access in South Africa. Critics argue that Starlink should conform to local laws, including Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations. The approval process has been criticized as flawed and unconstitutional. Despite the backlash, McKenzie and other supporters insist Starlink's benefits outweigh the concerns.
