So….everything going to cost more now….or we “lose” even more money through non-delivery of “covid” jabs…none existent tenders… taxation on spirits and cigarettes…and any other excuse they can come up with…. ALWAYS gets charged back to the people’s….

Lord help us. New satelite black market opening soon!!!! Who wants to bet satellite parts or money for the satelite will be stolen. Or it might just be set alight by a homeless person😂😂😂

You don't have technology to not even launch but to develop a satellite. So oskare nyela.

Unbelievable story,🤔,SA is potential on standing on its own.

Can we please look at access to network within remote areas. Network reception in Nqamakwe is not the same as Network reception in East London for example and that is holding us back Khu_Ntshavheni. Before we get to orbit. Thank you

Let's start with the basics bazalwane. 😔

Beemagqwanti They can't fit schools with water, toilets and electricity but want send a satellite to space. This government has wrong priorities.

The only thing gonna launch is that tender

You must be joking.

They must learn to crawl first. Satellite under ANC not a good idea. They can even keep the trains running, parliament running now they want to do satellites I will not be sure when the thing will come crashing on our heads. A big NO.

We NEVER had a satellite up there all this time 👀👀👀😰

South Africa can jump start its economy if it does the following: 1-Remove the race based BBBEE laws! 2-Remove all labour law red tape! 3-Reduce Corporate Income Tax to 22%! (This will be lowered to 27% next year tho)
