ANC BEE policy stops 5,000 rural schools in South Africa from getting free internet connectivity from Elon Musk’s Starlink

The South African government maintains that black people must own at least 30% of Elon Musk’s Starlink before the service will be allowed to operate in the country.

After next Wednesday almost all metros will no longer be under ANC control and in most cases the DA will be the biggest party in these metros. The ANC's support is declining, and it will soon be reduced to a rural party with little influence in the bigger cities. This trend will continue and also manifest itself in the 2029 election.

That's not nice, changing what I typed like that.

You're going by polls. History has shown us that those polls are wildly inaccurate. Not at all representative of the general voting public.

I'd be very surprised if the ANC fell to around 30%. Very much doubt that's going to happen.

What history is showing that polls are 'wildly' inaccurate? In the last election most polls predicted the final outcome within 3 percent. I agree that polls are only a snapshot of feelings at the time the polls were taken but this close to the election they are becoming more believable.

This is the latest published in Newsday. Not the greatest source but it shows the trend.

Good thing, All they do in schools now is watch TikTok.

And they will be finding brand new charges on their municipal bills.

Last municipal election most polls were saying JHB was going DA. Never happened.

I prefer to believe results when I see them.

Wait till the DA introduces an oxygen breathing tariff in CT

Don't give them ideas. They are champing at the bit to find ways to line those coffers. Capetonians - remember to register & pay for your pet licenses, its the right thing to do! Geordie says so.

Not really, but we do need a place to watch them so they don't trash the home while we are at work.

Nothing wrong with a rock crushing camp

Why not put them in a cage? They make some pretty big ones for the larger pets. You can even put out some water and a little dish with food.

My way will get some use out of them. Your way is cheaper than school but all they will do is schit all over the cage and you have to clean that up
