SOUTH AFRICA – Musician Sho Madjozi has taken a swipe at lobby group AfriForum, saying that they are doing the bidding of billionaire Elon Musk, who she claims wants his Starlink legalised in South Africa by hook or crook.
South Africa has been at odds with the United States since the recent rise to power of Donald Trump, who counts Musk as one of his lieutenants.
This week Musk ramped up his attacks on the South African government, claiming they were targeting the country’s white minority population.
Madjozi took a swipe at the lobby group, alleging that they were doing Musk and Trump’s dirty work.
“Do they not see that they are just being used by Elon to attack our government for not allowing his Starlink to operate unregulated here and by Trump who just wants to destroy BRICS (bonus: make his Israeli friends happy)?” wrote Madjozi.
Madjozi’s comments followed AfriForum’s response to US President Donald Trump’s claims about land confiscations in South Africa.
On Sunday, Trump accused the South African government of “confiscating land” and treating “certain classes of people” badly, and because of this, Trump said he would be cutting funding the US provides to South Africa.
