Monica Mutsvangwa’s Son ‘Neville’ Profits From Starlink Even Though It Isn’t Licenced!
Harare, Zimbabwe | Neville Mutsvangwa, son of Zimbabwe’s former Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa, is reportedly profiting from Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service despite its lack of official licensing in the country.
This revelation has sparked outrage and accusations of cronyism, raising concerns about fair business practices and potential regulatory capture.
According to posts seen by ZiMetro News before they were deleted, Neville Mutsvangwa has been actively promoting Starlink services in Zimbabwe since early 2023. He has even established a company called “Mumba Money” that appears to be facilitating Starlink payments.
However, Starlink currently operates in a legal grey area in Zimbabwe. While the government has expressed interest in the technology, it has yet to issue any official licenses or permits for its operation.
This lack of clarity creates an uneven playing field for other internet service providers who must comply with established regulations.
Critics argue that Neville Mutsvangwa’s apparent involvement with Starlink smacks of preferential treatment. His close family ties to the government, particularly the former Information Minister who used to oversee the telecommunications sector, raise questions about whether he received special access or inside information.
