🇿🇦 A senior South African politician just got caught lying about Starlink to protect mobile network operators. Parliamentary communications chair Khusela Diko claimed Starlink "doesn't move the needle" on school connectivity. Here's what she left out: 16,000 schools still have no internet after 12 years, a missed deadline, and mobile operators billions over budget. Starlink offered to connect 5,000 schools for free and was turned away. A rural mobile tower costs around $61,000 and can serve just a single school. The numbers don't lie. The politician did.
