💨 Abstract

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in South Africa have criticized Minister Solly Malatsi's decision to support Elon Musk's Starlink, arguing it undermines local ownership laws and poses security risks. The EFF claims Starlink threatens jobs in the ICT sector and that Musk's involvement is irresponsible due to his public statements. The minister defended the policy, stating it aims to expand internet access and does not favor any specific entity.
