  • Eswatini has become the eighth African country, and the second of South Africa's neighbours, in which Starlink has launched. Owned By Elon Musk's SpaceX, the company made the announcement in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, earlier this week. Starlink can provide high-speed, stable connectivity to virtually the whole globe through its fleet of low-earth orbit satellites. Notably, this is the first time Starlink has been available at rand pricing, and this could indicate how much the service would cost when it eventually launches in South Africa. For more on this, we are now joined by SABC News Anchor Siphumelele Zondi.

    Anc wanted 60% share from starlink that why it hasn't been launch in Southafrica,if elon give anc 60% share to anc(icasa&BEE) it will cost more than R12 000.

    Elon Musk loves South Africa so much, he flies to the moon just to look down at how beautiful South Africa is. Now he wants to be close to South Africa but he cant get in 😅😅😅

      You have no idea what you are talking about.There are over 12 thousand starlink satellites in orbit already. Education is very important my friend. Sometimes its better to not say anything

      Guess we will see. You are not wrong to doubt Musk, he has made overblown claims and never delivered on them on many occasion. We will find out if Starlink is actually any useful.
