SA calls for man's arrest

Many people come into it on the man's video, insisting that his operation was illegal. Elon Musk has been vocal about South Africa not permitting Starlink to operate in the country. Read people's comments below:

@musa_mansa said:

"I have one too. Most overlanders have it. Especially if you are overland in Kalahari or Kalagadi. It’s not illegal to have one. It does not work as you go inland, but it works as you go towards Botswana and beyond. That’s not his house, that’s his camper."

@Lucky_Zitha insisted:

"He should be taught that laws and rules are not suggestions."

@Uncle_Sbu07 commented:

"They break the law, then turn around and say it's the blacks. Lock him up!"

@iamYoungNic_17 remarked:

"If this country was serious, this man would’ve been arrested— this is literally a breach of national security."

Others were unimpressed by Starlink's internet speed:

@Thabz_2hlo was unimpressed:

"All this noise for a mere 120mb download speed? Utter rubbish! Keep this thing out of sovereign South Africa."

@not_UncleP joked:

"All this commotion for 150mbps down and 15mbps up💀"

@Mzamo_Sibeko decided:

"Telkom Fibre > Slow ass Starlink."

@vusiralphlauren agreed:

"Mxm I thought it would be more powerful than this."
