Not a good time to launch anything, too many open palm's, wanting to be "greased" ... , makes cost of doing something prohibitive

If Starlink can call their dish "Dishy McFlatface", these guys could have used "Floaty McFloatface"
No sense of humor.

It's private.
If these guys can do it for zero taxpayer money, why does Govt give R10.5b of taxpayer money to SAA?

SAA gets the money from Govt. then "leaks" it into ANC pockets ...

They will not get any government bail-out like SAA
