> The real reason you can't operate in ZA is Empowerment, and what Google probably ran into. They can only own 49% of the business the start.
There's no evidence that Google ran into empowerment (BBBEE) roadblocks here. And that assertion about 49% ownership is quite incorrect. BBBEE doesn't actually work like that (1). A lot of factors go into scoring a company's empowerment rating.
