SKA - Square Kilometre Array for Africa



South Africa reaches for the stars with SKA

It is official. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be mainly hosted in South Africa. Two of the three receiver components will be built in Africa and the third one in Australia. The project promises to transform the Karoo into the most buzzing hub of information and communication technology in the world. It is expected to spur economic growth in Southern Africa. 

Science and Technology Minister, Naledi Pandor, hailed the decision as an acknowledgement of the sterling work by the SKA project team.
