Deputy President Cyril
Ramaphosa is today embarking on a visit to the Square Kilometre Array site in
the Northern Cape.
This visit will showcase the
MeerKAT as the world’s biggest and most sensitive radio telescopes.
The SKA will be able to probe the edges of the
universe and be able to answer key questions about the laws of nature and
physics.
Deputy President’s Spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa
says South Africa is currently building the sixty four dig MeerKAT.
Upon completion in twenty
seventeen the MeerKAT will be the largest radio telescope in the world and most
sensitive radio scope of its kind.
During his visit, Deputy President Ramaphosa will also have
an opportunity to
interact with members of the community from surrounding areas
of the SKA
side Mamoepa added.
