There was a moment of rare alignment in the minister of communications and digital technologies, Solly Malatsi’s, 2026/2027 budget vote speech last week. He said that Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services are a vital part of South Africa’s digital future, arguing that “rather than wait a decade to develop domestic LEO capacity, we must create conditions for international operators to serve our people now”.
