The EFF says Ramaphosa has no power to bypass necessary BEE laws, following reports that Elon Musk’s Starlink will operate in South Africa.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has condemned reports that President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to offer regulatory assurances to Elon Musk’s Starlink ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump this week.

On Tuesday, 20 May, Bloomberg reported that Ramaphosa who is in the US is set to allow Musk’s satellite internet provider Starlink to launch in his [Musk] country of birth in order to ease tension and mend relations between Pretoria and Washington.
