POTRAZ initiates raids on companies and individuals using Starlink : 2 arrested so far arrested

In a move to assert control over unauthorised telecommunication services, Zimbabwe’s regulatory body, POTRAZ, has initiated raids on companies advertising and distributing Starlink Internet Services gadgets.

The crackdown comes as a response to the increasing number of local businesses promoting Starlink on social media platforms, particularly Facebook, in clear violation of the law.

A stern warning has been issued by POTRAZ, cautioning individuals against selling or using Starlink Internet Services in the country.

An official from POTRAZ confirmed the imminent crackdown, telling H-Metro,

“It’s not allowed to sell or use Starlink in Zimbabwe, and police will be mounting raids and arrests soon.”

The official emphasised that those advertising the gadgets are putting themselves at risk and urged them to cease such activities immediately.

“All those advertising the gadgets are putting themselves at risk and they stand warned to stop selling and using them.

POTRAZ, in collaboration with the police in Harare, is set to conduct raids on businesses engaging in the illegal distribution and use of Starlink gadgets.

The official highlighted the importance of adhering to proper processes and obtaining the necessary licenses.

“The use of unlicensed telecommunication is not allowed,” the official emphasised. “Starlink is still in the process of applying for a license; they are not yet licensed.”

So far, the crackdown has resulted in the arrest of two individuals—one in Vic Falls and another in Bulawayo. Their cases are currently before the courts.

The arrests underscore the gravity of the situation, sending a strong message that authorities are prepared to take decisive action against those violating telecommunication regulations.

In conclusion, Zimbabwe’s pursuit of regulatory compliance in the telecommunications sector is evident in the recent crackdown on Starlink.

As the country braces for the anticipated raids, individuals and businesses are urged to adhere to legal processes to avoid facing the legal consequences
