According to Hopewell Chin’ono,
A company is owned by convicted criminal and President Mnangagwa’s associate, Wicknell Chivhayo.
President gave exclusive rights to distribute Starlink, and the company is falsely claiming on its website that it has a web designer named Brooklyn Simmons.
A quick reverse image search of the picture they are using shows that it is a stolen image, originally posted online in 2019.
How can a state allow a President to embarrass himself and the country by giving exclusive rights to such a bogus and criminal enterprise to work with Elonmusk’s company?
The Newshawks give the following Analysis
N0. 53 Samora Machel Avenue, Harare
This is the address from which IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd – which is linked to controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo – will be providing Zimbabwean clients with Starlink satellite high-speed internet services as an agent.
IMC Communications shares offices with Chivayo’s Intratrek Zimbabwe at Karigamombe Centre on the same address.
This shows that Chivayo is the one who will be the agent for Starlink services.
While individuals may choose to subscribe directly with Starlink, state enterprises, institutions and government departments will be directed to subscribe with Chivayo and his company for him to mint money from virtually doing nothing beyond broking, while he provides vendor or enabling technologies.
Chivayo, who is very close to Mnangagwa, makes money through state tenders, contracts and leveraging proximity to power.
Announcing that he has now approved Starlink’s licence, Mnangagwa said:
“I’m pleased to announce that i have approved the licensing of Starlink by POTRAZ to provide advanced internet and related digital processing services in Zimbabwe through its sole and exclusive local partner, IMC Communications (Pvt) Ltd. Starlink
@Starlink is a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite operator wholly owned by global conglomerate Space X led by promiment multi-billionaire ElonMusk
