By Business Correspondent | Unverified reports circulating on select X (formerly Twitter) accounts suggest that Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, may be generating more revenue in Zimbabwe than in any other African country. The claims have sparked widespread discussion, although no official confirmation has been made, and the reports could not be independently verified at the time of writing.

The posts allege that, despite Zimbabwe’s ongoing economic challenges, the demand for Starlink’s satellite-based internet services has surged, with users opting for the reliable connectivity it offers in areas where traditional broadband infrastructure is lacking. This has reportedly positioned Zimbabwe as a top market for Starlink’s revenue across the African continent.

The microblogged claims suggest that Zimbabwe’s growing reliance on online services for business, education, and daily transactions is driving this adoption. However, no denial of these claims has been issued by Starlink or relevant authorities, adding intrigue to the discussion.

While the potential for Starlink’s success in Zimbabwe is plausible given the country’s connectivity struggles, these reports remain speculative until further verification.
