Oscar Pistorius's millionaire dad backs AfriForum, Elon Musk

Like Elon Musk, fellow Pretoria-born businessman Henke Pistorius – the father of convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius – has sided with AfriForum's claims that there is 'racial discrimination' towards white people. The mining and property developer shared his views on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show this week. In it, Morgan also spoke to several other South African commentators: Dan Corder, Sophie Mokoena, Gareth Cliff, and Ernst Roets. Race relations, legislature, farm murders, and Julius Malema singing Kill The Boer were hot topics during the episode. Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Henke Pistorius was asked if he believed that 'white genocide' existed in South Africa. The father of Oscar Pistorius told the UK TV personality: 'No doubt about that. No farmer is in a position where they can rely on protection from authorities. 'No one can run away from the truth, and it was high time that certain things had to be seen and accepted'. Pistorius insinuated that police crime statistics could not be trusted as they 'certainly have an agenda to protect. I would advise you not to rely on that.' Instead, he added: 'If you want to get the correct figures, you should speak to organisations like AfriForum and people that represent the interests of white farmers. The multi-millionaire businessman touched on Elon Musk's claims that 'race laws' stifled their companies, using the example of Starlink, which has rejected the BEE local shareholding legislation. He continued: 'The support one gets to put these projects in motion is very bad, because of your skin [colour]. They quickly ask you what percentage do you have of black representation.' Of President Cyril Ramaphosa defending anti-struggle song Kill The Boer, Henke Pistorius added: 'It is clearly a call to total anarchy. We have uncontrolled criminality and murderers, people who should've been exposed to a wonderful education programme. Instead, they have squandered billions and have not done their jobs. 'It's totally criminal'. Unlike many South Africans, the Pistirus family has wealth abounding through their business empire. In fact, Investors Hub stated that Oscar's father, Henke, and his uncles and aunts collectively own over 100 active companies. The family's wealth emanates from Oscar's paternal grandfather, Hendrik Pistorius, who has four sons: Theo, Arnold, Henke, and Leo. He also has three daughters: Sonia Grobler, Heidi Drew, and Reine Malan. The main company – H Pistorius & Co. – is a family business that is involved in the processing, mining, marketing, and distribution of agricultural and industrial limestone. Arnold Pistorius owns Twin City, a company responsible for developing, letting, and managing commercial properties around South Africa. He also owns several shopping malls and tourist resorts in SA and Austria. According to The Witness, Henke – Oscar's dad – is involved in property development and mining businesses. Reports indicate that Leo and Theo have businesses in transport, armoured vehicles, and property development, both in South Africa, Austria, and Mozambique. Additionally, the brothers own private game reserves, a ski lodge in Austria, a mine in Limpopo, and residential and leisure property developments. They also own big game hunting companies and an air charter company. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

This stunning Spelling Bee winner photo sums it all up

The 100th Scripps National Spelling Bee is over, and we have a winner who overcame a rough late-bee error to win it all. Faizan Zaki, a 13-year-old from Allen, Texas, finished as a runner-up last year and was one of the three spellers left on Thursday when he was given "commelina." He immediately started spelling it wrong and told head judge Mary Brooks to ring the bell for an incorrect answer. You can see that moment below, but he got through to spell the final word correct: éclaircissement, which he nailed right away without asking for language origin or to be used in a sentence. BEST SPELLING BEE MOMENTS OF ALL TIME: The result? A win and his reaction was simply the best: You have to love it. He fell right to the ground in pure elation. And why did he spell words quickly? Per the Associated Press: Faizan had a more nuanced explanation: After not preparing for the spell-off last year, he overcorrected, emphasizing speed during his study sessions. Congrats to Faizan, who needed four tries to get the victory. Here he is talking about his preparation, in which he talked to CNN about how he focused on the vocabulary and the spell-off at the end: What a win! And we'll leave it off with the photo of Zaki collapsed on stage, which sums it all up: Awesome. This article originally appeared on For The Win: National Spelling Bee winner photo of Faizan Zaki sums up his run

Starlink in South Africa: A lifeline or a Trojan Horse

Understanding Starlink: Costs and controversies in South Africa. Image: Reuters As South Africa contemplates relaxing Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) regulations to enable Elon Musk's Starlink to operate within its borders, a fierce national conversation must begin not about internet speeds, but about sovereignty, trust, and transformation. On the surface, Starlink is everything this country has been waiting for: a space-age solution to a deeply terrestrial problem. In a country where only 10–15% of rural households have stable internet and where countless schools, clinics and police stations still struggle with basic connectivity, the promise of fast, reliable satellite broadband sounds like nothing short of a miracle. But South Africa has been down this road before. Too often, technological 'solutions' have arrived draped in global capital, wrapped in good intentions, and laced with fine print that erodes local agency. And this time, it comes delivered by Elon Musk, a billionaire with a South African birth certificate but a political track record that suggests deep contempt for this country's values, institutions, and transformation agenda. Elon Musk has previously claimed Starlink was barred from operating in South Africa because he is not Black, an allegation South African officials refuted. Image: AFP Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Economic Implications: Bridging the Digital Divide By providing high-speed internet access, Starlink could spur educational opportunities, healthcare delivery, and economic development in regions currently lacking robust infrastructure. However, concerns persist regarding the affordability of Starlink's services for low-income households. The cost of equipment and subscriptions, currently upwards of R10,000 for the initial setup and about R1,000 per month, may remain prohibitive, thereby limiting the service's reach to those who might benefit most. Moreover, the impact on existing internet service providers and the broader telecommunications market dynamics warrants careful consideration to avoid unintended economic disruptions. Rural Connectivity in Numbers: What the Data Says According to recent Icasa and Stats SA data, only 1 in 10 rural households in South Africa have access to stable broadband internet. In provinces like the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, and parts of KwaZulu-Natal, connectivity levels fall far below even that, creating a chasm between urban and rural access to information and services. Schools and educational institutions in these areas face immense challenges, and teachers often lack digital resources, and learners cannot access online learning platforms. Police stations, clinics, and municipal offices in rural communities frequently struggle with outdated or unreliable internet, hampering everything from filing crime reports to accessing national health databases. If made accessible through government partnerships or subsidisation, Starlink could potentially revolutionise service delivery in these critical sectors. Reliable internet could enable: E-learning platforms, including access to online textbooks, Zoom classes, and coding workshops. Real-time data sharing and crime monitoring for police stations. Telemedicine services in rural clinics. The Infrastructure We Desperately Need South Africa needs a Starlink-like technology. Urgently. The digital divide is a national emergency. In many rural communities, schoolchildren are still being taught without internet access, educators are cut off from digital training resources, and police stations file paperwork by hand. For millions, reliable internet is not just a tool; it's the key to upward mobility, access to education, government services, employment and entrepreneurship. Fibre rollout has been uneven and slow, hampered by budget constraints, corruption, and poor planning. For many municipalities, it simply isn't coming. Starlink bypasses this bottleneck completely. Its satellite network can beam high-speed internet to anywhere in the country, virtually overnight. Its potential to transform rural economies, unlock innovation, and bridge geographic isolation is immense. If implemented responsibly, Starlink could become the backbone of South Africa's digital future. But there is a catch. And it's not a small one. Elon Musk: A Troubling Messenger for a Promising Message This isn't just about technology. It's about who controls it, what values they bring, and how they wield influence when they disagree with a sovereign state. Musk has made no secret of his disdain for South Africa's transformation policies. He has repeatedly called BEE 'racist', falsely implied that South Africa persecutes minorities, and re-platformed extremists on X (formerly Twitter) who push the debunked narrative of 'white genocide' in South Africa. He has also used his AI chatbot, Grok, to propagate misleading information about the country's crime, land reform, and race relations, often to an international audience unfamiliar with South Africa's nuanced, post-apartheid reality. In short, Musk has demonstrated he is not simply a tech CEO; he is a right-wing and racist political actor with a clear ideological agenda, one that aligns disturbingly well with global far-right narratives. The same man seeking control over vast swathes of South Africa's internet infrastructure is the man publicly undermining its constitutional efforts to redress historical inequality. Can Starlink Be a Trojan Horse? We must then consider a chilling possibility: what if Starlink is not just a communications tool but a potential ideological delivery mechanism? Because Starlink operates independently of local ISPs and existing telecom frameworks, it creates a 'grey zone' where South African regulatory oversight may be severely limited. Suppose Starlink users connect directly to satellites, bypassing local data routing. In that case, it becomes exponentially harder for Icasa or the Department of Communications to monitor or enforce content compliance, cybersecurity laws, or data protection standards. There is a real risk that Starlink's user interfaces could favour Musk-owned platforms, including X and Grok, by default, particularly in rural or first-time internet environments. In such areas, where people have never encountered the internet before, what they first encounter shapes their worldview. If their first exposure to global information comes filtered through Musk's ideological lens, South Africa may find itself nurturing a digitally colonised generation, raised on disinformation, anti-BEE sentiment, and narratives hostile to democracy and inclusion. Musk's history of publicly antagonising states, suggests that he does not hesitate to politicise access and operations. The infrastructure we welcome in a crisis could become a tool for coercion down the line. Desperation Must Not Lead to Dependency South Africa is not naïve. We know what foreign capital can do when left unchecked. We've seen the headlines about tech giants hoarding data, undermining labour rights, and lobbying against taxation and transformation. Yet we are also a country of immense potential, home to some of the most entrepreneurial, resilient, and digitally fluent young people on the continent. We deserve the best infrastructure the world can offer, but on our terms. Letting Starlink in without robust, transparent, and enforceable conditions would be an act of desperation masquerading as progress. It would open the floodgates for a private surveillance satellite network managed by a man who has shown hostility toward our democracy, contempt for our redress laws, and a worrying willingness to deploy his platforms in the service of racial disinformation. We Need the Technology, But Not the Ideology Here's the bottom line: South Africa needs what Starlink does. But we do not need what Musk represents. If Starlink wants to operate in South Africa, it must commit formally, contractually, and transparently to: Respecting BEE or offering clear, independently monitored equity equivalence programmes. Routing local traffic locally, with compliance with data protection laws. Maintaining strict neutrality in content prioritisation, with no bias toward X or Grok Submitting to regulatory oversight and policy compliance, like every other communications provider This is not a technophobic stance. It is a constitutionally grounded, economically rational one. We should welcome the infrastructure, but not on bended knee. Digital Inclusion Beyond Starlink: The Broader Blueprint While Starlink presents a high-tech, fast-paced solution, it cannot be the sole pillar of South Africa's digital inclusion strategy. More community-orientated, cost-effective models have shown promise and should be scaled up. Some alternatives include: TV White Space technology: Leveraging unused broadcasting frequencies to deliver broadband to remote areas at lower costs. Municipal broadband initiatives: Cities like Tshwane have experimented with free public Wi-Fi zones. A national roll-out of such models could bridge urban-rural divides. -Zero-rated data services: The success of zero-rated educational platforms like Siyavula and university portals during Covid-19 lockdowns shows how mobile networks can support learning and service delivery. Public-private infrastructure sharing: Local ISPs, in collaboration with the government and telecom giants, can pool resources to extend fibre-optic networks incrementally. Community mesh networks: Examples in Kenya and India show how decentralised, community-owned networks can operate at minimal costs with local buy-in and employment. These models foreground inclusivity, localisation and sustainability, important considerations if digital equity, and not just digital expansion, is the ultimate goal.

Malatsi: Communications sector's proposed policy changes already provided for in law

CAPE TOWN - Minister of Communications Solly Malatsi has once again moved to defend proposed policy changes in the sector, saying he's not attempting to do anything not already provided for in law. Many believe the regulations are being designed to benefit foreign satellite company Starlink, the company of tech mogul Elon Musk. On Thursday, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, a former communications minister, said no discussions were had with Musk during government's visit to Washington last week. Malatsi has been at odds with political parties in Parliament this week - including the African National Congress (ANC), over regulations that would forego Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) requirements for communication operators in favour of equity equivalents. READ: Malatsi defends policy directive to ease company transformation targets and BEE requirements Responding to member's statements in the National Assembly on Thursday, Malatsi again sought to explain the move, telling the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party that he was working within the prescripts of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Act, passed during the administration of their leader, Jacob Zuma, in 2014. 'This is not some invention by a villager from Limpopo called Malatsi. It's there in the rules.' Answering questions at a post-Cabinet briefing earlier in the day, Ntshavheni also defended her actions as a former communications minister. 'We've never considered Starlink. I've never said that. I said South Africa considered developing or introducing satellite communication in the country.' Malatsi said the new regulations will create a more competitive environment for multiple operators.
