A Victoria Falls-based company, Zambezi Boutique Private Limited was recently ordered to pay a US$500 fine by a Victoria Falls Magistrate for using Starlink internet services.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), the company was charged with contravening the Postal and Telecommunications Act Chapter 12:05 i.e. “possession, control or operate a radio station without a radio station license.” The NPA said:

> Sometime in September 2023, the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) received a tip-off to the effect that the company was in possession of Starlink terminals.

> Acting on the tip-off a team from POTRAZ together with the Police proceeded to the company premises where they were led to the terminal connection located at the reception area.

> The General Manager of the company failed to produce a license authorizing them to possess, control or operate the equipment.

> The company was sentenced to a fine of US$500 and the Starlink equipment was forfeited to the state.
