South Africa is proposing changes to its Black empowerment laws to facilitate Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service, which he criticized as "openly racist." The new legislation would allow foreign telecom investors to meet equity requirements through alternative contributions, such as job creation and local supplier engagement, rather than direct equity sales to historically disadvantaged groups. Critics argue this move undermines the original intent of empowerment policies, while supporters believe it could enhance internet access for underserved rural communities.
Elon Musk criticized Julius Malema after a video resurfaced of the South African leader chanting "Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer" at a rally, linking it to a historical anti-apartheid slogan. Malema defended the chant as part of political history, while Musk warned of potential genocide against white farmers in South Africa. This controversy coincides with rising tensions between South Africa and the US over land expropriation policies.
