Honestly this should never have been a problem in the first place, there is a clear demand for fast broadband in rural areas, to the point that people are turning to the grey market to get it at a exorbitant cost and high risk to themselves.
Why isnt this service approved as a local ISP , put the politics aside, its clear that it will help people.
 
The South African Government doesn't like them because Ukraine used them against Russia in the war....
so nyah, nyah, nyah!
