In the face of grave accusations made by opposition figures, Minister Solly Malatsi defends his contacts with Resolve Communications and Starlink, claiming they are a part of his official duties.

Minister tells parliament the PR firm contacted his office over two unrelated matters while denying it facilitated his meeting with Starlink.

Starlink is one of many low-Earth orbit companies engaged by government as part of ICT policy reform and investment, says minister Solly Malatsi.
