The annual National Institute for Theoretical and Computational Sciences internship is being expanded to include 25 universities, led by Stellenbosch

The sole black astrophysicist at Nasa’s science mission directorate traces his roots and his work with black South African astro-science students

The aviation sector is worried that rules about the radio spectrum in the skies above the project could affect the Jo’burg to Cape Town route

South Africa is on track to meet the NDP goal in terms of doctoral graduates

Astronomy is accessible to anyone with a view of the sky

Whether it was in the use of satellites to monitor the continent’s resources or precision medicine, we need technology to accelerate development.

The still infant telescope, which will be a major part of the Square Kilometre Array, is proving to be much more effective than anticipated.

The MeerLicht telescope will scour the skies to study transient celestial events. But its link to the MeerKAT radio telescope is what sets it apart.

Science continues to shift the boundaries of what we think we know and 2016 will be no exception. Sarah Wild highlights the fields to keep an eye on.

The ambitious SKA super-telescope has sparked a burst of speed in locally developed computing, most recently with Skarab processing technology.

Governments put several millions into projects such as the Square Kilometre Array and they expect "the same coming back to their national industries".

The Square Kilometre Array Organisation is confident it will gain new member countries to fund the €2bn radio telescope.

Science and Technology Minister Naledi Pandor says that a backup system has been developed so that the site can manage for three days without power.

The Square Kilometre Array will contribute to huge surveys that seek to answer questions like: Is there life out there and how do galaxies form.

Scientists say the Northern Cape is the perfect place for radio astronomy, with its low rainfall and clear skies making it a "radio quiet" site.

Science’s "hottest" TV presenter, Brian Cox, makes a good argument for life elsewhere in the universe.

Scientists and engineers are trying to determine the technological cost of predicting what the world will look like in 2020.

The Max-Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany says it is pleased to be part of a "light-house" project for science in Africa.

The massive radio telescope, which will form part of the Square Kilometre Array, is projected to be completed on time despite delays.
