Dear Mr. Solly Malatsi,

I am reaching out with a sincere and urgent request for your support in accelerating the process of activating Starlink in South Africa. Residing in the Cradle of Humankind, my access to reliable connectivity is extremely restricted, often entirely absent. As a remote professional of over five years, I can attest to how crucial dependable internet access is for sustained productivity and economic contribution.

Despite efforts to work with local service providers, the options have proven highly unsatisfactory—unreliable at best and prohibitively expensive for inconsistent performance. Starlink’s entry would fundamentally transform this landscape, providing countless remote professionals, entrepreneurs, and dependent households with the connectivity they need to succeed. Beyond personal benefits, this move would unlock substantial economic growth, foster innovation, and empower South African communities to reach their full potential.

Your advocacy could make a transformative difference. By championing Starlink’s activation, you can contribute to a forward-thinking infrastructure that empowers South Africa to thrive on a global scale and embrace the advancements of a modern, connected economy.

Thank you for your consideration and for any influence you can lend to this matter.

Best regards,
Renier Van Niekerk
