MUSK, RESPECT OUR LAWS OR LEAVE US ALONE

The Mercury

|

April 14, 2026

ELON Musk’ recent claim that South Africa has “racist laws against White people” preventing Starlink from operating here is not just false - it is a cheap, petulant smear against a country trying to heal three centuries of racial trauma.

South Africa does not have racist laws against White people. What we have are Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) laws designed to redress the deliberate, state-sanctioned economic exclusion of Black South Africans under apartheid. If Musk finds that objectionable, he is welcome to take his satellites elsewhere.
