The country\u2019s President Emmerson Mnangagwa said Starlink will provide services through its sole and exclusive local partner, IMC Communications. It is expected to result in high-speed, low-cost internet throughout Zimbabwe. According to the World Bank, only 34.8% of Zimbabwe&#8217;s population had access to the internet as of 2021. However, the entry of Starlink will enhance connectivity even in the most remote areas. The approval comes after Starlink\u2019s services were earlier shut down in the country. Last month, the country&#8217;s telecommunications regulator suspended the firm&#8217;s operation until it obtained licensing approval. This comes as Elon Musk\u2019s firm is looking to expand its foothold in the world\u2019s second-largest continent.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink Receives License Approval in Zimbabwe | Firstpost Africa\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vh5MS3Slr5E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
