Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, announced that the company is working swiftly to increase Starlink’s internet capacity in dense urban areas in Africa.
This decision comes in response to the temporary halt of new Starlink sign-ups in several African urban centres due to overwhelming demand.
Starlink reported that these regions had reached network capacity, leading to the suspension of new user registrations.
Musk said African users residing outside city centres can still sign up for the service, as there is significant capacity available in these areas. Musk wrote on X:
<blockquote>
Starlink is working to increase Internet capacity in dense urban areas in Africa as fast as possible.
Please note that there is still significant capacity outside of city centers.
</blockquote>
This development comes as Starlink’s residential service has sold out in Bulawayo, just a week after the internet service provider announced that the city centre and surrounding areas had reached full capacity.
Harare reached capacity a few weeks ago for the SpaceX product, and Bulawayo follows suit as users seek what they consider an affordable and fast internet connection.
According to the Starlink map on its website, Bulawayo is now marked as sold out. This designation indicates that the internet service capacity has been fully utilised in specific areas, particularly in densely populated cities.
As a result, customers can place orders but will enter a queue until the capacity for the low-orbit satellites can be increased.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk has not provided a specific timeline for when this increased capacity will be available.

Elon Musk is working to make Starlink internet better in African cities because many people want to sign up for it but there is not enough space. People who live outside the cities can still sign up because there is more space there. The service has already sold out in some cities like Bulawayo. People can still order it, but they will have to wait until more space is available. Elon Musk has not said when this will happen.

Elon Musk Pledges To Boost Starlink Capacity In African Cities Amid Soaring Demand

Five men were arrested in Harare on Saturday allegedly for possessing Starlink kits without a valid licence, reported <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/five-arrested-in-harare-for-illegally-selling-starlink-kits/">The Herald</a>.
The suspects are Polite Jamba (28), Ngoni Mandiwo (29), Denver Ndebele (26), Tinotenda Vambe (26), and Lennin Mhiripiri (26). They are scheduled to appear in Court this Monday.
According to a police report, detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Highlands received information that the two accused persons, Ndebele and Mandiwo, were selling Starlink kits at shop number 1 Easy Walk Mall in the CBD.
Acting on a tip-off, the detectives went to the specified address and found the suspects in possession of two Starlink Gen 2 kits without valid licenses.
The suspects were arrested and taken to CID Highlands for further processing. The total value of the seized goods is US$900. Reads the report:
<blockquote>
On the same date the suspects, Jamba, Vambe and Mhiripiri were approached by detectives purporting to be potential customers and were found in possession of 1 by Starlink Mini kit without a licence and were arrested and escorted to CID Highlands for further management. Total value recovered is US$450.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the Government has called on people who previously imported Starlink kits without a license to regularise their kits with licensed entities.
Aura Group and TelOne, are authorised to resell Starlink Low Earth Orbit internet constellation services in Zimbabwe.

Five men were arrested in Harare for selling Starlink kits without permission. The men are scheduled to go to court on Monday. The police received information and found the men selling the kits in a mall. They were arrested and taken to the police station. The value of the seized goods is $900. The government wants people who imported Starlink kits without permission to fix their kits. Only Aura Group and TelOne are allowed to sell Starlink services in Zimbabwe.

Five Arrested In Harare For Illegally Selling Starlink Kits

The Minister of Information Communication Technology (ICT), Postal and Courier Services, Tatenda Mavetera, said that Starlink’s entry into Zimbabwe will promote economic development in marginalised communities by providing access to high-speed internet.
The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has licensed several firms, including state-owned TelOne, Frampol, Dandemutande, and Paratus, as resellers of Starlink services in the country.
Currently, Aura Group and TelOne are the only local companies approved by POTRAZ to resell Starlink devices.
Speaking at the at the launch of Aura Group’s Starlink reseller partnership in Harare on Wednesday, 25 September, Mavetera said:
<blockquote>
Today marks a very important step in our telecommunications journey as a country, as we gather here to see the launch of a partnership between Starlink and Aura Group, a local company.
The introduction of low-orbit satellite technology, such as that which is being deployed by Starlink, represents a transformative opportunity for Zimbabwe’s underserved and marginalised communities.
This will foster economic development in areas that would previously be hindered by inadequate connectivity.
We realise that there is quite minimal connectivity in the rural areas. As government, we are there to make sure that we progress by us making sure that we avail connectivity, especially in the rural areas.
</blockquote>
Speaking at the same event, Aura Group CEO Samuelle Dimairho said that their partnership with Starlink will serve as a catalyst for empowering underserved communities.
He said this collaboration aims to improve healthcare services, enhance food security, expand access to information, and support value addition and beneficiation across various technologies—all made possible through affordable, high-speed internet. Added Dimairho:
<blockquote>
We can have mobile applications where we monitor our fields and actually monitor the amount of water that is being pumped.
We can also do this by having smart, mobile applications where we can monitor how much water is being pumped.
</blockquote>
Starlink, a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX, offers high-speed internet including in remote areas where traditional infrastructure is limited.

Starlink, a satellite internet service by SpaceX, is coming to Zimbabwe. The Minister of ICT says it will help marginalized communities by providing fast internet. The government has licensed some companies to sell Starlink devices. This will improve connectivity in rural areas and boost economic development. Aura Group is partnering with Starlink to empower underserved communities. They plan to use high-speed internet for healthcare, agriculture, and information access. This technology will help monitor fields, water usage, and support various technologies. Starlink's arrival is seen as a game-changer for Zimbabwe's internet access.

Starlink A Game Changer In Zimbabwe's Marginalised Communities - Minister Mavetera

The Zimbabwean government has said Starlink will not receive any special treatment and will be taxed like local internet service providers and mobile network operators.
During a post-Cabinet media briefing in Harare on Tuesday, Information Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister Tatenda Mavetera said:
<blockquote>
When it comes to taxes, they are all the same. Whatever is going to apply to local ISPs is also going to apply to Starlink. That is why you see us penalising them if they are not providing efficient connectivity.
</blockquote>
Earlier this month, Mavetera announced that the government would impose fines ranging from $200 to $5,000 for telecommunications companies and internet providers that fail to deliver reliable service.
Willard Shoko, an independent high-speed internet consultant, <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/zimbabwe-rolls-out-hefty-fines-for-poor-telecommunication-services/7778769.html">said that these new fines could lead to a stronger telecommunications industry</a> capable of competing across the southern African region. Said Shoko:
<blockquote>
The motive behind that is to improve internet for the end user. But I think they should also consider improving the infrastructure sharing and also collaboration to improve internet, not only for the region but also for Zimbabwe, because this is the foundation of the digital economy.
Meanwhile, Starlink which went live in the country early this month, is expected to improve connectivity in the country as the nation is grappling with inconsistent internet access, particularly in rural areas, where traditional internet infrastructure has been lacking.
</blockquote>
So far, several local companies, including TelOne, Aura, Dandemutande, and Frampol, have been approved by Starlink as kit resellers.
However, despite Dandemutande and Frampol achieving Starlink Authorized Reseller status, <a href="https://www.techzim.co.zw/2024/09/potraz-bans-authorised-starlink-resellers-frampol-dandemutande-from-advertising-and-selling-starlink/">the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has not granted them the necessary clearance</a> to sell Starlink services.
As a result, these authorised resellers are unable to operate in Zimbabwe. The only companies currently permitted to sell Starlink services are Aura, TelOne, and Starlink Zimbabwe itself.
When POTRAZ announced the approval of the Starlink license earlier this month, it also banned the sale of Starlink services in Zimbabwe without its clearance.

The government in Zimbabwe says Starlink will be taxed like other internet providers. They will be fined if they don't provide good service. This might make the telecom industry stronger. Starlink is a new service that will help improve internet access in Zimbabwe, especially in rural areas. Some local companies can sell Starlink, but others are still waiting for permission. The government wants to make sure Starlink services are good before they are sold in the country.

"No Special Treatment For Starlink In Zimbabwe"

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has approved the application by IMC Communications.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/potraz-approves-imcs-internet-service-license/">The Herald</a> on Thursday, IMC Managing Director Denny Marandure said Zimbabwe was now “set to witness a mammoth digital revolution” after the company was officially granted the ISP (Internet Service Provider) operating license. Said Marandure:
<blockquote>
Competition is healthy, and IMC will no doubt increase competition and innovation in the Zimbabwe internet market, which should lead to lower prices and better quality for consumers.
This is no doubt a game changer for customers where other internet solutions are either unattainable or cost-prohibitive.
IMC is poised to tap into new technologies that will revolutionise our economy and align with the President’s goal of Vision 2030 of making reliable connectivity accessible to every person in Zimbabwe and embracing a digital future that leaves no one and no place behind.
This now allows IMC to play its part in helping realise this vision.
Our service offering will leverage cutting-edge satellite technology and prioritise customer satisfaction to bridge the digital divide, providing equal opportunities to all and making sure we leave no one behind.
</blockquote>
POTRAZ Director General Gift Machengete confirmed that the regulator had approved the application by IMC Communications for the ISP licence.
The Herald reported sources as saying IMC has paid a one-time permit fee of US$575,000 to operate in Zimbabwe.
In addition, IMC will be required to pay an annual licensing fee equivalent to 2% of its gross turnover, as well as a 1.5% universal services fund (USF) contribution based on its total revenue.
POTRAZ is said to be in the advanced stages of processing a license application for Starlink after the company paid the initial application fees.
NOTE: The original report made by the government-controlled publisher has inexplicably been removed from their website.
The article has been updated to clarify that IMC, which has been linked to ZANU PF donor and ex-convict Wicknell Chivayo, has not in fact partnered with US billionaire Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service.

The government of Zimbabwe has given permission to a company called IMC to provide internet services in the country. IMC will work with Elon Musk's Starlink to bring better internet to Zimbabwe. This partnership will bring more competition and innovation to the internet market, leading to lower prices and better quality for customers. IMC will use new technology to help bridge the digital divide in Zimbabwe and support the country's goal of reliable connectivity for everyone by 2030. IMC has paid a fee of US$575,000 to operate in Zimbabwe and will also pay yearly fees based on its revenue. Starlink is also in the process of getting a license to operate in Zimbabwe.

POTRAZ Approves Starlink Partner, IMC's Internet Service Licence Application

The Postal and Telecommunication and Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) says internet service provider Starlink plans to roll out its service in Zimbabwe during the third quarter of this year.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/starlink-to-roll-out-in-third-quarter/">The Herald</a>, POTRAZ director general, Gift Machengete, said satellite services will enable remote parts of the country to access the internet. He said:
<blockquote>
About Starlink, they have indicated in their application that they will roll out service in the third quarter of the year.
That is what they have said. In their application, they will provide backhauling connectivity and they can also enter into commercial arrangements with local players…
Satellite service providers provide high-speed internet services. There will be areas where they will be providing services that have not had the service, like the rural areas, where there is no optic fibre.
</blockquote>
Backhaul refers to the set of copper, fibre, or wireless links that connect the core (or backbone) networks with smaller subnetworks at the network’s edge and these connections allow users to access the internet by connecting to the subnetwork.
The primary role of backhaul is to expand network coverage and facilitate high-speed data transmission.
In an interview with State media at the weekend, Information, Communication and Technology, Postal and Courier Services Minister, Tatenda Mavetera, said:
<blockquote>
There will be better service delivery by the Government — in schools and hospitals, the Government has an opportunity now to provide Internet coverage in remote places at a lower cost.
Tax revenue — increased digital transactions will result in a direct increase in tax revenue for the Government, which, in turn, will result in better service delivery.
</blockquote>
On Saturday, President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced he had approved the licensing of Starlink by POTRAZ to provide advanced internet and related digital processing services in the country through IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd.
SpaceX, the company that provides Starlink, is owned by South Africa-born American billionaire, Elon Musk.
Starlink is a high-speed internet service designed to offer reliable connectivity in even the most remote locations around the world.
It is currently officially offered in a few African nations, including Nigeria, Mozambique, Zambia, Kenya and Malawi.

Starlink To Roll Out In Third Quarter - POTRAZ

The government has officially granted Starlink, a satellite internet service provider owned by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, an operation license to operate in Zimbabwe.
Starlink will provide the service in Zimbabwe through its sole and exclusive local partner IMC Communications which is owned by ex-convict Wicknell Chivayo, according to <a href="https://x.com/zimlive/status/1794353558147805515">ZimLive</a>.
In a statement issued this Saturday, 25 May, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said the licensing of Starlik demonstrates his administration’s commitment to providing an environment where investment in technology is promoted. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
One of the strategic pillars that anchor the 2nd Republic’s developmental agenda under Vision 2030 is innovation, science and technology.
Prioritisation of the digital economy and the emerging importance of technology in our day-to-day activities requires Government to lead from the front in providing an environment where investment in technology is promoted.
In this vein, I’m pleased to announce that I have approved the licensing of Starlink by POTRAZ to provide advanced internet and related digital processing services in Zimbabwe through its sole and exclusive local partner, IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd.
Starlink @Starlink is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite operator wholly owned by global conglomerate Space X led by prominent multi-billionaire @ElonMusk.
The entry by Starlink in the digital telecommunications space in Zimbabwe is expected to result in the deployment of high-speed, low-cost, LEO internet infrastructure throughout Zimbabwe and particularly in all the rural areas.
This will be in fulfilment of my Administration’s undertaking to leave no one and no place behind. The investment confidence expressed by Starlink in Zimbabwe’s telecommunications infrastructure also dovetails with the 2nd Republic’s mantra, “Zimbabwe is open for business”.
I encourage more investment by foreign conglomerates in Zimbabwe as we are an investment destination of choice.
I take this opportunity, on behalf of the Government of Zimbabwe, to congratulate IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd and Starlink on this commendable milestone aimed at revolutionizing the digital and communications technology landscape in Zimbabwe.
Investments of this magnitude and strategic importance represent the cornerstone for achieving the 2nd Republic’s objective of having a fully digitalized, upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

Elon Musk's Starlink Granted Operating Licence In Zimbabwe

Global satellite internet provider, Starlink, has applied to operate in Zimbabwe, the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) has confirmed.
Earlier this month, the government of Zimbabwe instructed Starlink to shut down services as it had not been licenced to operate in the country.
Users of the service subsequently received an email from the satellite internet service provider, advising them it had been directed to disable services.
Speaking during a question and answer session on Tuesday at a business function organised by the Ministry of Information Communication Technology (ICTs), Postal and Courier Services on the sidelines of the ongoing 64th edition of the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF), POTRAZ director-general Gift Machengete said (<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/starlink-applies-for-zim-licence/">via The Herald</a>):
<blockquote>
Then, why is Starlink not operating right now? The simple answer is Starlink had not applied and we would be foolish to go then and say come and apply, please.
Now they have come to apply and we are in the process of looking at their application.
We are also a regulator, we need to see how we regulate them. We also have to look at consumer and data protection.
But, currently, we are in the process of looking at their application.
</blockquote>
He admitted that POTRAZ had instructed Starlink to switch off users in Zimbabwe saying they were breaking the law. Said Machengete:
<blockquote>
So, in short, we have not banned them. What we have just done is that those who have been using Starlink terminals were asked to have Starlink switch them off because we cannot allow illegality.
I think they have been switched off and maybe there is some outcry. But, you see those were illegal and they will be regularised when they are licenced.
Let me explain that at POTRAZ we are the licencing authority for telecommunications and we actually have a licencing framework and that framework is a converged framework whereby we check if the technology that you bring is not relevant, it is technology neutral and to reinforce that we already had geostationary satellites.
We already have geostationary satellites licenced so there is no way we would then be blocking Starlink because we are technology-neutral.
</blockquote>
To use Starlink, Zimbabweans were mostly buying the kits from unofficial importers of the kits who brought them in from countries where the service is sold legally (like Mozambique, Zambia, Eswatini etc..).
Depending on the seller, the prices would range from about $600 to $1500. Installing the kit is generally easy and to operate it in Zimbabwe, they set their account to a roaming service.
The price of unlimited internet from Starlink with the roaming is about US $38, which customers would pay to the company directly.
Ultimately, the service was popular in Zimbabwe because the price of an unlimited internet package by the country’s internet providers is at least US$140.
That and the fact that Starlink can work anywhere in the country – even the remotest pockets of the country where people there’s no infrastructure for other types of connectivity.
An estimated 5,000 Starlink terminals are believed to have been brought into Zimbabwe by the time POTRAZ blocked the service in the country.

Starlink Submits Application To Operate In Zimbabwe

The government appears to have made a U-turn on licencing Starlink amid revelations senior government officials are in talks with the internet service provider, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200024290/zim-in-starlink-u-turn-engages-satellite-internet-service-provider">NewsDay</a>.
Zimbabwe has not licensed Starlink to sell its product although several companies including parastatals and individuals already are using the service.
NewsDay reported a source close to the developments, as saying discussions between government representatives and officials from Starlink are currently underway. Said a source:
<blockquote>
Government is now bringing in Starlink and they are meeting officials from Starlink. You can confirm with Information Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services minister [Tatenda] Mavetera for more information. But she said that it is still confidential.
</blockquote>
Asked about claims that the government was in talks with Starlink, Mavetera said:
<blockquote>
Can you wait a bit to do that story, call me tomorrow [today], there is something that I am just waiting for. Maybe by Wednesday [today], I will be able to comment.
</blockquote>
The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) recently said that Starlink had not applied for an operating licence.
Last month, a Guruve-based Chinese mining company, San He, was fined US$700 by a Bindura magistrate, and early this month, Zambezi Boutique Private Limited, a Victoria Falls-based company, was fined US$500 for unauthorised use of Starlink internet services.
Starlink is currently available in several African countries, including Nigeria, Mozambique, Zambia, Kenya, and Malawi.
Starlink offers several advantages that include high download and upload speeds, availability and reliability in remote areas, weather resilience, unlimited data usage, and portability, among others.

Zimbabwe Engages Starlink Internet Service Provider | Report

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) says internet service provider Starlink has not applied for an operating licence.
Over the past several months, some individuals and companies have been advertising Starlink Internet services but POTRAZ warned that those caught distributing and advertising Starlink Internet Services’ gadgets will be arrested.
Many have already installed Starlink internet gadgets which provide cheap and fast-speed internet.
As reported by <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200023629/starlink-has-not-applied-for-operating-licence-potraz">NewsDay</a>, POTRAZ deputy director of economic tariffs and competition Vengesai Magadzire said the nation should know that Starlink is yet to submit its application papers.
Magadzire was addressing villagers in Chikomba West constituency during a consumer awareness campaign at the weekend. He said:
<blockquote>
As the regulator, POTRAZ is mandated to license operators in Zimbabwe but now Starlink has not submitted its application for the licence. We are waiting to hear from it and once it submits Potraz will do what is required.
</blockquote>
A Chinese mining company operating in Mashonaland Central Province, San He, was recently fined US$700 for using Starlink in Zimbabwe.
According to the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPA), the San He Mining company in Guruve was ordered to pay a US$700 fine by a Bindura Magistrate for contravening the Postal and Telecommunication Act. 
Zimbabweans are increasingly eager to ditch local internet service providers for Starlink due to their poor service and high cost of data packages.
Developed by Elon Musk’s space exploration company SpaceX, Starlink is a satellite internet network that provides high-speed broadband internet services.

POTRAZ Says Starlink Has Not Applied For Operating Licence

Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) director-general Gift Machengete has warned companies illegally advertising and distributing internet services and gadgets from Starlink, which is not licenced to operate in Zimbabwe, that they will be prosecuted.
There has been an increase in the number of local businesses promoting Starlink on social media platforms, particularly Facebook.
Speaking in an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/potraz-cracks-down-on-starlink-traders/">The Herald</a>, Machengete revealed that an illegal commercial courier, Macrotop Zim (Pvt) Ltd based in Msasa, was arrested recently after the company was caught delivering Starlink kits to customers.
The company has reportedly been delivering the parcels to customers after the production of proof of payment at its headquarters in Harare CBD.
POTRAZ confiscated two customer receipts after being produced as proof of payment to collect parcels.
The company was reportedly found with items labelled with the customers’ names and Zimbabwean contact telephone numbers.
Machengete said the parcels were ordered from China and destined for delivery in Zimbabwe. He said:
<blockquote>
Either customers come personally to collect, or the parcels are delivered to their doorstep.
Paperwork is set to be done on Monday in preparation for a court appearance. Because the parcels were far too many, we seized only 10 parcels which we took to ZRP Licence Inspectorate.
We also took their health licence, and on Monday they are required to produce all the company documents at the police station.
We are now planning to come up with our POTRAZ seal which we will use to seal such premises when they have too many parcels for us to confiscate.
These traders who were selling Starlink products broke the law and they were arrested and they will be prosecuted because they did something that is against the law.
If you bring Starlink equipment here, you have not been authorised by Potraz as per the law.
If you are found with it you will be arrested. Starlink or any other satellite company is allowed to operate in Zimbabwe provided they are licenced.
You need a licence to operate in the telecommunications sector and that is the law.
We are waiting for Starlink to submit the relevant information that is required by the regulator.
