President Jacob Zuma has congratulated Science and Technology Minister Naledi Pandor for winning the rights to co-host the Square Kilometre Array telescope with Australia.

Zuma said that the achievement was possible because of the African Union's endorsement and support from partner countries including Namibia. 

South Africa will receive the bigger part of the 23-billion-Rand telescope project.

The project site will be in Carnarvon in the Northern Cape.
