Abstract
In 2012 the country celebrated the news that South Africa had won a substantial part of the bid to build the most ambitious radio astronomy array in the world - the Square Kilometer Array. This audio lecture explains the purpose and function of this massive investment in international astronomy, and its implications for the future of astronomy in South Africa. This resource is useful for anyone interested in the Square Kilometer Array and astronomy in general.
