South Africa banned Starlink for being too White, says Musk
South Africa has banned Elon Musk’s Starlink from operating in the country because the company does not employ enough Blacks, the billionaire alleged on Friday.
“Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa, because I’m not black,” Musk wrote on X.
Since the African National Congress (ANC) took power in 1994, South Africa’s government has openly embraced Black supremacy. The ANC has passed laws requiring Black employment quotas at companies in the nation where Whites comprise 7.7% of the population. In November 2023, for example, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development issued a notice restricting agricultural export permits from farms that are too White. In May 2023, ANC officials proposed race-based water quotas that would only grant water use licenses to farms that employed a certain percentage of Blacks.
South African entrepreneur Robert Hersov told podcaster Dave Rubin this weekend that the ANC has implemented 140 anti-White laws in South Africa.
“There's been endless laws, anti-white, boiling us like a frog in a bowl,” said Hersov.
Ironically, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa used that same frog-boiling metaphor decades ago to describe his plan to subjugate Whites. Political veteran Mario Oriani-Ambrosini in his memoirs recalled a conversation he once had with Ramaphosa in the 1990s during negotiations for a new South African Constitution:
In his brutal honesty, Ramaphosa told me of the ANC’s 25-year strategy to deal with the whites: it would be like boiling a frog alive, which is done by raising the temperature very slowly. Being cold-blooded, the frog does not notice the slow temperature increase, but if the temperature is raised suddenly, the frog will jump out of the water. He meant that the black majority would pass laws transferring wealth, land, and economic power from white to black slowly and incrementally, until the whites lost all they had gained in South Africa, but without taking too much from them at any given time to cause them to rebel or fight.
In January, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a law allowing the government to expropriate private land “in the public interest” and without offering compensation if the government decides that doing so is “just and equitable.” The law is one of several that target Indigenous White Afrikaner farmers, referred to as Boers in Afrikaans. Land farmed by Boers has usually been family-owned for generations, long before the country’s regime change in 1994. Afrikaners are often destitute and have repeatedly been violently attacked by ANC supporters.
The ANC has advocated for Blacks to own more land, saying it would bring more economic and political security. This idea took on a radical tone when Julius Malema, the founder of a militant ANC spin-off organization called Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), began urging Blacks to seize land from Whites, who make up less than 8% of the population.
“Victory will only be victory if the land is restored in the hands of rightful owners. And rightful owners unashamedly is Black people. No White person is a rightful owner of the land here in South Africa and in the whole of the African continent. This is our continent, it belongs to us,” said Malema in a 2016 speech, then suggesting that Whites should be slaughtered. Malema has publicly led EFF members in chanting “Kill the Farmer, Kill the Boer.”
January’s expropriation bill is seen as giving carte blanche for the ANC to begin confiscating White-owned land, though Ramaphosa denies this is the case.
US freezes funding over racist laws
Last month, President Donald Trump announced a freeze on funding to South Africa over its expropriation law.
“South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!”
But President Trump suggested that land restrictions is not the only driver for his decision to cut off funding.
“Terrible things are happening in South Africa,” he told a reporter on Sunday. “The leadership is doing some terrible things, horrible things. So that's under investigation right now. We'll make a determination, and until such time as we find out what South Africa is doing — they're taking away land and confiscating land, and actually they're doing things that are perhaps far worse than that."
White genocide
For years, the ANC has been accused of perpetrating a genocide against the White population, which the legacy media have dismissed as a “far-right conspiracy theory.” In 2018, Trump ordered Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate the murders of Boers following a report by Fox News on the issue.
White South African farmers have been targeted in massacres for decades, which the nonprofit group Genocide Watch has said are planned as part of a genocide against Whites. According to a report by AfriForum last year, there were 296 reported attacks on Afrikaner farms in 2023 and 49 murders, one less than in 2022. Only a handful of murder suspects are arrested and convicted.
Violent rhetoric among politicians extends beyond Julius Malema’s calls to “kill the Boer.” MP Andile Mngxitama, who was elected to Parliament last year, has called for a genocide of Whites if even one Black person is killed.
In addition to murders, hundreds of thousands of destitute White Boer Afrikaners who live in large squatter camps also face death from cholera and other diseases wrought by poor sanitation and water supply. Aid workers have blamed the disease-related deaths on intentional neglect by local ANC councils.
"Every year, these brave descendants of the proud Boer people have to fight court battles against evictions by town and city councils everywhere,” said aid worker Gideon van Deventer, according to Israel National News.
"Sometimes these councils employ sly tactics, like charging the destitute for allegedly contravening all sorts of obscure council regulations, which is clearly a form of harassment and intimidation, as they own nothing, are clearly indigent, and can by no means be perceived as a threat to the mighty ANC in any form whatsoever.
"The ANC council and government policies of 'blacks first' will eventually be their ruin, especially if this case turns into an epidemic or a human rights disaster," van Deventer said.
This grim picture of Afrikaner life — particularly the farm murders — is said to be carefully constructed by the ANC, which reportedly intends to eliminate the White race from South Africa.
